Butch Women are NOT Crossdressers!

What is the definition of crossdresser?

Society's definition is wearing clothes associated with the opposite gender within a particular society.

Now trans is an umbrella word(many words) that includes crossdresser.

Butch women are still women, they might not live up to society's standards of what a woman is, but they are still women, I only know a select few butch women whom identifies as trans.

But to make a blatant statement and generalize a group of people and call them crossdressers, you are implying that all butch women are trans. This is completely inaccurate and false.

Also based on society's definition of crossdresser implies not only trans but homosexual as well. Well that is inaccurate and false. Butch women can be bisexual, asexual, pansexual, homosexual, omnisexual, heterosexual etc.

Drag kings that is a different scenario, it is an art form where mostly female performance artists who dress in masculine drag and personify male gender stereotypes as part of their performance.

Stereotypes is the commonality among all of these falsehoods. No truth no facts at all, just generalizations towards a group of people because they choose to go against socionormatives.

What makes a man? What makes a woman?

What group of people decided that this is menswear and this is womenswear?

Just because you wear the pants don't make you a man!

Just because you wear the dress and makeup don't make you a woman!

(figuratively speaking)

In Memory of Katharine Hepburn thanks for revolutionizing the pants suit!
