I'm not trying to brand anyone with stereotypes. Some lesbian women are really butch and some are not, maybe most are not. I know. Just like many gay men are effeminate and some are not. I'm kind of effeminate myself but I'm okay with it. I stand with my hand on my hip- you know with the thumb forward- all that stuff I was taught not to do as a kid; I talk with my hands, I love to shop for clothes, I'm good at matching colors- . If I sort of fit a stereotype it doesn't bother me or anyone else.
