I remember growg up, my sister always thkg I was gay bee I’ve always had a feme speech and posture; the “limp wrist” as people ll , I always cross my legs right when I s and re very much about my fashn choic, etc.
I do thk that sometim s my chanc wh women bee lookg at me, most people do assume that I am gay. There was a time once when I had wonred to myself if I was gay but thkg of beg wh another man do nothg for me at all. If this off as homophobic, I do not mean that way at all.
BUTCH, FEMME, OR STRAIGHT ACTG? PARTNER PREFERENC OF GAY MEN AND LBIANS
The ments tend to be filled wh a bunch of jok like "girl thats not your man" "idk he seems a lil gay to me" or pictur of limp wrists, thgs that imply that her partner is a closeted gay man and she's beg duped some way.
As a bisexual trans man, I fd that at their worst, they n be regrsive, monosexist, or even jt pla homophobic- which hontly, is a b of a shame sce a lot of the jok are om queer (mostly gay) men. And I don't want to imply that there are no feme gay men, or that closeted or ternally homophobic gay men don't form romantic relatnships wh women out of eher ternalized shame or safety purpos. My issue wh the assumptn that feme men are always secretly gay do the followg: · pletely eras bisexual men (monosexist, bi erasure) · n potentially imply that gay men n be easily spotted and that there's only one type of gay man (homophobic) · rerc the ia that a te and ial heterosexual uple has the masule man and the feme woman (opposnal sexism) · n imply that gay men are the secret predators or disguise to take advantage of suatns, which is a sentiment a lot of queer people al wh and fight agast to simply exist (homophobia, queerphobia).
