Gender Myths.... - Page 6

Kenna · 07-01-2012, 10:12 AM

Myth (that baffles me) : all soft butches, bi, androgynous, switches, butches with more feminine traits than masculine, TG persons, butches who don't pack or strap, butches who are attracted to butches are somehow less than any other identity or strongly masculine person. I have seen soft butches or butches that are submissive and bi folks treated like they are " lower on the hierarchy "... this happens because of the myth they are less than and therefore aren't taken serious. It kills me to see this and see anyone on the LGBTQW spectrum " pushed out" if space and less respected.

Myth : femmes are not sissies nor are they less than. They do not do " sissy jobs" because they are feminine or less strong physically.

That I'll want to have bottom surgery, and if I do I'll want to tell everyone about it, including those outside of our community. That I cannot be attracted to men, and if I am, it's because I am totally 100% gay, and not also attracted to women. That I can't enjoy Hello Kitty or My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic because that totally takes away any cred I receive from passing and T. That I wear a binder all the time.
Love this thread.

Myth: All TG are going to take T and have SRS.

Yes, I do understand anyone can quote a post as a jumping off point, we all do it. What bothered me were the "facts" that proceeded.Usually we jump off other post to continue to make a statement, or to agree with.

Didn't seem like either to me.

I don't know if people actually think butches are BORN with this knowledge. However, that is what "house bois" are for *grin*

Woops I goofed on the last one... myth: femmes ARE SISSIES and they are less than because we are less strong physically. Myth : femmes do sissy jobs because we can't handle heavy manual labor.
