Or maybe they just want people to stop calling them "blokes" over superficial aspects of the way they dress and behave? Or maybe they just resent how womanhood is reduced to a collection of stereotypes instead of the material reality of their sex? This is the same tired old "lesbians just want to be men" homophobia that butch lesbians have been subjected to since the beginning of time.

They don't lack conviction; they just don't want to be part of your stupid cult.

Sadly, I think this form of conversion therapy works. My one butch lesbian co-worker has just started with the they/them pronouns.

You can either be a butch lesbian and be bullied by your own community, or become a genderspecial and get love-bombed.

Luckily for me and my wife, we're getting to that age where we've stopped giving a shit what the LGBT "community" thinks of us.
