This is really interesting. I'm lesbian and can't say I have any firsthand knowledge on this topic, but I appreciate you sharing, and I look forward to hearing what other people think.

"Masc gays have internalized homophobia, bish just let you inner-gay run wild!". Such topics has always worried me, why can't they just be themselves? For a community who's slogan was "Be yourself" they always act like there's a tiny "Terms and Conditions" to it.

I used to have a friend like this unfortunately, lol.

also heard some lesbians' stray complaints how some edgy masculine lesbians' interpretation of being masculine is to be a lazy asshole that talks about their gfs as if they're just their personal toys. Like what the hell?

Have definitely seen some act like this online haha, but I know so few other lesbians IRL that I haven't seen it.

Yeah, sometimes I see butches do that, but usually it's a weird mix of "gender" roles. For example, a lot of butches I know of were raised in fairly strictly gender regulated households so they're really good at cooking/cleaning/childcare simply because those things were forced on them growing up. E.g. the bald woman dressed like a lumberjack will coo over babies like a soccer mom.

Also, I've almost never seen butches complain about not getting dates or anything like that, despite seeing a lot of fem4fem stuff.
