clothing doesn't "make" one's gender id. i agree with bulldog...jeans and t-shirts are not just for men.

I really don't care if a store clerk or someone like that temporarily mistakes me for a man. But I don't want to be viewed like a man or seen as a man or treated as man. It also doesn't surprise me that butches who prefer male pronouns wouldn't care.

I do wear all mens clothes and I am a butch woman.
