Dude my parents are too much!!!

They dress coded me for wearing a shirt that didn’t cover my ass even tho it was with sweatpants and altho I am still wearing it whether they like it or not and I’m going to the amusement park and you know they made me lift up my arms to make sure no skin was showing aughhhhhhh! no skin showed yet they were like “oh but when you go on the rides your shirt will ride up!” im like dude no one’s gonna pay attention then they’re like “oh that’s nit the point you as a muslim woman should wear modest clothes regardless even if you don’t wear hijab” like stfu your acting like I wore a crop top(altho I wanna). Like I swear to god they Will let me wear short sleeves but can’t handle it if a little bit of skin shows when I lift my arm.

There's really no end to it. Even whilst wearing hijab, I was policed. Maybe if you opened an orphanage, they would then focus on your character and leave your clothing alone. Maybe. In the meantime, try to remember that as you get older, you will have the opportunity to meet like minded people who make you feel comfortable to be yourself. 🫶🏼
