Anonymous asked:

How is people forcing butch lesbians to transition? Sexual orientation =/= gender identity =/= gender presentation

First, “forcing” is not the right word. Butch lesbians aren’t being kidnapped and taken to gender clinics in the dead of night against their will. But “pressure” to transition certainly is a major thing. Just ask the many butch or “gender nonconforming” lesbians on here if they have felt and/or succumbed to that pressure.

And yeah, I know, commenters like you are fond of drawing those bright lines between gender identity and sexual preference. All those women who were lesbians before transition were never **really** lesbians. Right.
