I have seen soft butches or butches that are submissive and bi folks treated like they are " lower on the hierarchy "... this happens because of the myth they are less than and therefore aren't taken serious. It kills me to see this and see anyone on the LGBTQW spectrum " pushed out" if space and less respected.

Myth : femmes are not sissies nor are they less than. They do not do " sissy jobs" because they are feminine or less strong physically.

Woops I goofed on the last one... myth: femmes ARE SISSIES and they are less than because we are less strong physically. Myth : femmes do sissy jobs because we can't handle heavy manual labor.
