…does she think that no man ever gets his eyebrows trimmed? It’s pretty far from being a meaningful concern of mine, but it’s something I’ve absolutely been offered (and occasionally accepted) when getting a hair cut.
I guess it’s also possible I have the scenario reversed and she thinks no woman gets this done, but I feel like that doesn’t line up as well with the assumed stereotypes here.
Or I guess another option is she thinks every single (insert transitioned gender) must do so.
Right, I’m MtF, and figured I’d at least try to come out to my ma before I took my first DIY injection.
She thought I was kidding, then the stuff came in the mail and she thought I was hysterical, then we had a long conversation about it and now she thinks I’m confused. Think it’ll turn out fine with more time but she did tell me that every single woman trims their eyebrows and I couldn’t be trans because I hadn’t been.

The irony of the etymology for “hysterical” in this context is not lost on me.
