lol @ your assumption that “butch” translates to male gender-conformity tbh. rly doubt a women who’s been on HRT for almost a decade iirc (i.e. an old-school butch) counts as “gender-conforming”. you literally have no idea what @an-old-school-butch looks like, you’re just assuming butch = looks like a straight man because you’re an overly-mechanical faux-radical anti-dialectical person with no genuine understanding of butchness, lesbian culture, or lgbt history.

You’re right, I don’t know what he looks like but I know that he’s a heterosexual male who wears men’s clothes and posts about how angry, opinionated, loud, rough and mean he is and how he takes up space on public transport and blah blah… Everything he describes about himself is typical of a gender conforming man so I base my judgement on that.
Whatever he is, he is not a butch lesbian. What I think of him obviously doesn’t reflect my view of actual gender non conforming, homosexual females. The two are worlds apart and an-old-school-butch will never understand butchness. He can read about it on tunglr and parrot what he hears but he will never know what it means to be butch, a lesbian, a woman. He will never come close to understanding the burdens we carry. Don’t tell me this male creature understands my life better than I could.

Explain to me, why should I accept this man as my sister?!

he also has male pronouns and a male name, and describes himself as a “dysphoric female” (purposefully using language used almost always by butch lesbians)

and to top it off… “an-old-school-butch” appropriating the name of Tumblrs radfem mum

Oh and let’s not forget his posts about how terrifying it is to be perceived as a man by other men! Confirming that no one irl actually sees him as anything other than another straight dude.
