it's silly but being 'gender nonconforming', seeing things like this sometimes makes me feel sort of weird - even as a woman who should be a lot more "settled" in her body/with her presentation
*also i know this may seem like misplaced frustration since a lot of feminine and str8 ppl don't measure up to the standards placed on women, but those of us who are neither are really in a no-man's land so it's fucking bizarre esp since a lot of younger ppl are claiming lesbians or androgynous/butch/gnc queer women are "privileged" and what-not (ugh)
sometimes i feel like, w/ local queer community and tumblr, one of the least acceptable things to be in the queer community rn is a woman who's attracted to women
as soon as queer as a "transgressive" identity became more widespread/popular, it caused an influx of all these ppl who have truly backwards ideas about lesbians - comparable to your everyday homophobe/misogynist on the street
