We get told we should just be with men or that we are pretending to be with men.
We get dismissed because we *pass*.
It's like coming out over and over and over again. It can be different every time. Say we date a trans person? We get told we are straight. As if OUR identity (once again) is entrenched in who we love. Date another Femme and we are told we are not "Real Femmes".
So yes, we are relegated to the back of the line. To the closet. To the hetero world

I'm sorry, I had no idea that femmes were treated this way. It's very alien to me considering how I regard femmes. Thanks for responding.
