I'm surprised I'm the only one who considers male lesbianism offensive when used as anything other than a joke, as it looks to be based entirely off stereotypes. Men who do not consider themselves to truly be women in the way a transwoman does saying how women walk, talk, act, and enjoy things made them realize they're a male lesbian. Except every instance they give is a blinding stereotype.
I realize maybe this is the only way that their personality and preferences are accessible to them with male gender roles being what they are, using this stereotypical framework, but I've spent my life with and fighting for the idea that "woman" is not just pink, frilly, giggly, passive, delicate, pretty, talking about feelings, and watching Sex and the City while eating ice cream. Being a woman is not about NOT working on cars, liking sports, or liking science. It includes engineers and plumbers and short hair and fitness and dark colors and ambition and not being good at talking about your feelings.
Would it be okay if I said I'm not black, but totally identify with black people and am a white-black who should have been born black because OH YOU GUYS I LOVE HIP HOP AND FRIED CHICKEN SO MUCH LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE, I JUST HATED BEING SMART AND STUDYING LIKE A WHITE PERSON AND THEN IT ALL MADE SENSE.
For some reason this is okay with male lesbians because we're supposed to be super-accepting of any and all labels people whip up for gender and orientation nowadays. But as a member of the group they're talking about I think it's bull that I'm supposed to sit here and have them say what my gender is that I most certainly am not.
