As any cis woman can tell you, beauty and fashion advice is generally all about fitting into a narrow ideal. As someone with broad shoulders and large arms (something not uncommon among trans women) any advice on how to dress for my body shape is centered around hiding my shoulders and arms, making them look smaller. But let me tell you, I'm seeing more and more people say "fuck that" and I'm entirely on board; owning your body shape and dressing to enhance it is empowering.
