I haven't come across a lot of other women/lesbians who used to be masc and are now fem. I can relate. Cisheteropatriarchal expectations of femininity def come with a more persistent impulse for comparison than masculinity (this is the male gaze, which trains us to not only see ourselves as ourselves but also through the eyes of straight male desire). The comfort of being masc is that it can turn you invisible to that comparison. The downside is that instead, you get scrutiny and harassment for being gender-nonconforming. I think that weight of cishet standards you speak of actually is part of what has led me to be more fem - it's like I keep trying to reach this standard, but I can never quite get there bc I also draw the line at certain things (body hair, makeup). I've always been fairly androgynous. I think my attempt at committing to being masc was like "huh, I'll never be given the femininity stamp of approval, so why not just swerve all the way to the other direction?" I've learned that I'm just not the kind of person that can be 100% one or the other.

I’ve always felt that being a lesbian is its own category of womanhood. It’s so interesting how we experience gender in so many complex ways.

I get what you’re saying. I never really presented fem (even in high school when I tried wearing feminine clothing and make up—it looked very unnatural) so I can’t personally relate to the difference but my wife is fem and there’s a stark difference in how not only we navigate our identities, experiences and pressure but how people put their norms onto us. I noticed it especially on our wedding day. I felt great in a suit but not many people told me I looked beautiful, compared to how many people were gushing over my wife. I wasn’t jealous or anything but I thought it was eye opening to how people perceive me because of my perceived outward masculinity was. And for her, she is feels the pressure to maintain her femininity around her heteronormative coworkers or friends without compromising her lesbian identity. She struggles to relate to them beyond the superficial femininity because of their heteronormativity

My experience has been the exact opposite. Ever since I’ve become more masc I’ve felt like I’ve had to fight to prove my identity as a woman. As long as I had long hair I could dress/look and act the way I wanted. The moment I cut my hair short I was constantly judge by both men and women both inside the lgbtq community and outside. I had to constantly prove that I didn’t “want to be a man” or that I wasn’t ashamed of being a woman. The constant pressure to present more feminine or “act like a woman”. my personality and my clothing hasn’t changed. The only thing that’s changed it the length of my hair and for some reason it’s a sign that I hate being a woman and there for should no longer be able to identify as one.dont get me started on how bad the homophobia got once i cut my hair.

I'm masc presenting because I don't want to have to care about all of that BS. I'm IDGAF-presenting.

I’ve been playing with my look and when I dress like a tomboy people are still nice and I go about my day. But when I dress up (summer dress, heels, makeup, etc) everyone is NICE NICE. Like it feels like a day and night difference

appleuser3527688 :
This is not a comparison because I’ve never aspired to present as masc - femininity is like a hamster wheel, I feel like I will never catch up or succeed in my femininity. When I feel like I get to a place of comfort with myself, I begin to feel the expectations and pressure from others, especially other wlw. It is so difficult and was so unexpected for me.

As a transman, sometimes I’m ashamed that I wish I hadn’t transitioned. Not because I don’t feel like a man, but because it would be easier.

The most freeing/weightlifting thing (IMO) is getting rid of all the labels and “types”. My wife and i are WLW period. We dont do the labels or types. Sometimes we present more “masc” or “fem” based on how we feel that day. But otherwise we try not to create expectations for ourselves. We both have had people act surprised when they find out we are gay. Absolutely nothing wrong for people who want to stick to a type! The older i get i just realize idc about how i present or what others think. Might be worth a try sometime just to see 😁🥰🙏🏼
