My girlfriend was asking me if it really is harder for masc women than fem men to be visible in queer community—because, y’know, it’s more socially acceptable for women to wear pants and a bare face than it is for men to wear skirts and makeup.

I said, “Yes, that’s correct. But fem men (&c) literally have achieved a platform. Prominent mainstream shows dedicated entirely to them—such as Queer Eye and Drag Race. Where are the reality shows run by butch lesbians?” You’d be hard pressed to find a truly masc woman even in fictional sapphic romance media, which is … not at all representative of IRL sapphics.
