I got "transvestigated" recently for being "not a real man!!!!!" As in, I'm a cis woman and they thought I was a trans man with feminine features lmaoooooooo. They were right, I'm not a real man and never will be, thanks for the validation

Like when that crazy lady yelled at a drag queen and said you'll never be a real women and the queen was like no shit?

I like when they hit Gottmik with the "you're not a real woman, you're a man in a dress"

He's a trans man who does arty/punky drag for a living

We love Gottmik

I have a short haircut and wear men's clothes like 90% of the time- my job calls for it and I like the pockets. I look and sound like a woman though, cause I am. Only just recently has a woman in steel toe boots and 501s been very confusing to a certain group of people.

Men's clothing supremacy! I love having durable clothing that has actual fucking pockets and is comfortable instead of fairy wings that hug your body so closely you can't even fit a slip of paper without it looking weird.

I dress comfortable and like pockets and comfortable shoes so apparently I’m a lesbian lol. Doesn’t matter I have three kids with me that look like me.

I have a daughter, but we buy both boys and girls clothes for her. In case you're wondering, 2 years old. At 2 years old we started to notice the quality split between boys and girls.

Apparently as soon as girls are out of nappies they need lower quality clothing.

My girls pull from both sides as well although they're a bit older and do it by choice (maybe imitating me).

I don't have any children so I don't actually know how the quality of Primary holds up but I love their marketing. I don't feel like children's clothes really need to be gendered at all and it's bizarre to me that they are

If pockets become the dividing line then i'm exactly whatever gender gets to have them.

As a fellow short-haired steel-toed woman, I feel you. I also get to add a baby face to make things fun. A client once assumed I was a male high school intern when I showed up at their mine.

Unexpected gender affirming care.
