That was a question directed to you. If you always wore pastel, frilly stuff, would you feel uncomfortable in plain, androgynous clothing?
Is your issue that they opt of of a societal pressure to sometimes dress uncomfortably for show?

Gay woman here.
Both. I dress casually for work (because I can) - cargo pants/khakis/ with cardigans/etc. But also own dresses and heels for when the occasion presents itself.
I have long hair that requires minimal upkeep and wear little make-up.
I would say that people don't always assume I am gay, but aren't surprised when they find out.

So, do you have a point, or do you just like to randomly stereotype for no reason other than to be offensive?
Gosh, exactly! There is a range of feminine / androgynous style for straight, lesbian, and bi women.

I just wonder whether "butch" women are interested in "receiving" pleasure from their partners.

Me, too. Woman I work with who is professional, competent, bright, but she wears men's clothes and has hanky, gray hair. She is doing herself a disservice in her career.

I have always wondered about this too. I work with a gay women that buys only clothes in the mens dept and I think some people who don't know her assume she is a man when they first see her. I don't really understand the dynamic other than sexuality, gender identity are very fluid and there is a still a lot we don't undnerstand about the origins of either.

Obviously that is the type of clothing they are comfortable in.
Why do you dress in the manner you do?

I know plenty of androgynous women. They do take care of the their appearance, just not in the traditional, feminine way.
They don't wear skirts, heels or makeup because they don't feel like that is an accurate representation of themselves.
If you like plain, solid-colored clothes, dressing in something covered in hot pink flowers and frills would feel awkward. Right?

And you dress like a man or don't do anything with your appearance otherwise, why?
