so sick of butches talking about their own experiences and someone who is not butch or femme has to fuckin be like. 'im so Sick of the idea that fem/mes cant also be strong!!!!' hey man. wgat. the pervasive idea is that fem/mes are the only ones who can be strong as a way to compensate for their supposed inherent masculinity

#not to sound like an em are ay about this but people will not just let us have conversations about butchphobia #i guarantee the backlash to w.onder w.oman or l.uisa m.adrigal would have been 50 times more if they were gnc #also its about gender not presentation for most misogynists #even if yr hypothetical butch and femme arent women #i've been presenting masculine but people are still gonna ask my brother to lift shit. i dont suddenly become tough in societys eyes #he could be in a wedding gown and this would still happen. its not about presentation its about gender #also half the women they say this about arent masc theyre just wearing somewhat practical shit #you just want to see every fighter wearing high heels because of yr own internalized misogyny about how you think women should dress #edit: this also applies to higher standards for transfems like prev post was talking about #let trans women dress practical no one has to be feminine 24/7 for you
