To be clear, what you said is what we hear from straight people all the time, and it is not acceptable here on the Planet.

I didn't say anything about identifying as a man, I talked about looks and style.
In which way is my comment heteronormative? I said what I think, and what I feel.
I know butches are women, but they remind me of men, too much that I can't be attracted to them. I like pure feminine looks.
Just as you can't generalize lgbt people, you can't neither generalize straight people. Not all straight people have a homophobic attitude, not all lesbians are butch, not all lesbians are femmes, not all gays are masculine and not all gays are feminine and so on.
Well if I was straight I wouldn't be on this forum...
