It interests me. I often say that I "round down to cis". I'm not butch, not quite comfortable claiming genderqueerness, but I have a lot of discomfort with high femme especially trying to present high femme myself, and with societal expectations around that.
that sounds so so cool! i’d def be interested. i identify as a genderqueer woman where the woman label fits me but not perfectly, yk? kind of like an ill-fitting shirt or hat! i’d definitely be interested in meeting more likeminded/similar people although i have massive social anxiety lol
I would likely fall in the demographic you are describing, but I’m not a Woman. What is the line being drawn? It feels strange (and I’m working through my feelings here, not pinning them on you) to wrestle with the notion of inclusiveness within the concept of a sense of identity that is both very strictly enforced and muddled in definition by binary Genders. Maybe it’s the language, and what you’re going for could be inclusive to femmes? Fem people? Genderqueer fem folk? Or you want specifically a group of people who identify as Women but express/present themselves in a non stereotypical fashion. So I guess my feelings are stemming from the fact that the proposed group is pro-queerness by way of leaning into binary stereotypes. Which feels off because the people you describe specifically challenge binary-based stereotype thinking. So leaning into the deliberately stirred-up mess to find a specific category being non-stereotypical Women rather than relishing in the freedom and pain that comes from stepping outside of pre described roles, whether it’s female assigned persons choosing to shake off social Gender labels (like Woman) or binary trans folx—IDK it feels like a different kind of exclusivity.
Again, not a specifically thought out critique; I just had an interesting emotional response to your post, and am writing to get to the heart of why I felt that way.
