		<description>Humans are made of a female and a male so we are both. Sadly some people close off part of themselves.  

Playing sports is not masculine, cooking is not feminine, etc. That is just garbage that some hetero-males need to separate themselves from women. Wonder how come the things that is deemed as masculine has to do with physical or mental ability whereas what is deemed as feminine is things that some men don&#039;t want to do. 

As far as clothing goes, what difference does it make what people wear. Hetero-males made the rules about that because they want to be able to know from a distance if a person is a female or male. They want to know that the person with the shapely behind and long hair actually belong to a woman. 

I saw a tv documentary where White people went into a forest where Black people lived. The Black people didn&#039;t wear clothing. One of the Black men casually looked inside the t-shirt of one of the visitors to see if there were breast or not. The person had breast and that satisfied the native. The White visitors gave the natives shirts to cover their nudity because they were uncomfortable. Actually the White men were probably uncomfortable about the White woman looking at the nude Black men. So much for being civilized.

Why is it an issue when some lesbians have short hair, wear pants and like playing sports, etc? Some straight females have short hair, wear pants and like playing sports, etc. 

Females have eggs and males have sperm. That has to do with making babies and has nothing to do with what a female and male will like doing or like wearing. Each person can be soft and strong. It doesn&#039;t make a female masculine because she is a capable person. It&#039;s silly to think that a female wearing boxers or a hard hat is masculine. A female is a female unless she self identifies other than female. The clothing, job, hair etc doesn&#039;t make her a man.

Too many people within the LGBT community still go by the rules and concepts set up by hetero-males.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;9436&#039;,&#039;Salty#1&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;9436&#039;,&#039;Salty#1&#039;,&#039;Humans are made of a female and a male so we are both.

		<description>I am a female...I wear makeup...a little and do my hair...but, I like having a strong body, I like my muscles and I work out to stay strong and fit.  I like the strength I have to hold my woman close, to lift her when I need/want to.  I play women&#039;s professional football - tackle. I don&#039;t do dresses/heels...I like my jeans and button up shirts with my tank shirts...yes, I wear boxer underware  and don&#039;t care what other people think.  Would you call me masculine?  I swagger when I walk and I walk my talk.  This is who I am....period.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;9434&#039;,&#039;Lisa Lisa&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;9434&#039;,&#039;Lisa Lisa&#039;,&#039;I am a female...I wear makeup...a little and do my hair...but, I like having a strong body, I like my muscles and I work out to stay strong and fit.

		<description>I understand where you&#039;re coming from but why would you want a masculine woman when you can have a man? Serious question. Because isn&#039;t that whole point of being lesbian woman liking woman? and female traits? I would question a person&#039;s sexuality who says they like masculine woman. Maybe I&#039;m wrong but it doesn&#039;t make sense to me. I don&#039;t know...&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;9289&#039;,&#039;Mary&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;9289&#039;,&#039;Mary&#039;,&#039;I understand where you\&#039;re coming from but why would you want a masculine woman when you can have a man?

		<description>I like this post as well. I&#039;ve gone through a great deal of pain in my life simply because of that kind of thinking. I&#039;m a woman, and I used to hate that fact because I was taught that to be masculine and a woman is disgusting, when it&#039;s not at all. 
I went through a bout of thinking I was transgender because from a young age I internalized that way of thinking. To this day I really don&#039;t like the word &quot;butch,&quot; and probably never will. But again, I&#039;m not one for labels.
As I said, I am a woman in how I see the world and how I interact with it. But I&#039;m not simply a woman. I only recently realized it&#039;s not a abomination to actually like feeling masculine and strong in soft way, AND be a woman.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;5290&#039;,&#039;Myself&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;5290&#039;,&#039;Myself&#039;,&#039;I like this post as well.
