Just gonna slide in to say that feminine women being their authentic selves and simply presenting in a way that makes them comfortable isn’t “upholding heteronormativity.”
It’s not upholding anything. I also don’t appreciate how frequently bisexual and lesbian women throw straight women under the bus.
You can defend your presentation without coming up with convoluted reasons why your feminine presentation is okay, but the presentation of feminine straight women is not.
Expression is expression is expression. Feminine women deserve basic respect and deserve to be comfortable dressing and behaving in the way that is most authentic to them without being unfairly criticized.
Heteronormativity is intentional and malicious. It’s othering. There’s nothing heteronormative about simply existing, given you are genuinely happy.
