Do you *want* people to assume you're a man?

[Daywalker]

When I realized that the reaction by a portion our own Community to
folks who 'pass' is to immediately default to male pronouns, I had to
examine myself at that time. Why? Because I was one of those in
the 'portion'. Fast forward a few years and see me crediting all of
you for helping me see why that was not so groovy and now
I use that to educate others.


A reply I gave to someone who continued to default to he/hy for Butches:


"...but why do you call them he/hy to start of with. By doing this,
you're taking away from them not only their visibility as Butch
Women, but you're also removing the beauty of the
fact that they are women who love other women."
