I don't know who needs to hear this but the masculinisation of Black women is caused by misogynoir and the need to dehumanise and mock Black womanhood it's not everytime a gnc Black woman just like... exists. The constant 'why does the Black woman have to be masculine and mannish and ugly and brutish and not soft, pretty and feminine' everytime there's a queer gnc coded Black woman or lord forbid, a canon or real life form of representation for gnc Black women is starting to feel real backhanded.
Black women can be soft and feminine and we deserve to reclaim that, but we also have the right to experiment with our gender presentation. We have the right to claim masc aesthetics especially the ones we literally made. It's not a moral failing for Black women, especially queer Black women to be masculine.
