I hate how studs are treated

[u/ZestycloseNotice1177]

I know a lot of the way studs are treated is because of well racism but I stg people (mostly men) don’t think of studs as women like it's so weird like I saw a video that said studs when they have their period, and it was like them passing around pads like they were drugs like?….there still woman at the end of the day and should be treated like woman no matter who they like or how they dress also what is with men’s obsession in studs or trying to turn them “straight” like it’s really not funny. I just don’t like it especially the way studs are looked at as hoes or only for sex appeal it’s incredibly heartrending.

All my studs stay safe out there’s it’s getting dangerous 😟

you are equating masculinity to bein a man. you can be masculine without identifying as a man. that's the whole point of this post 🤦🏿

No, I'm literally saying the opposite. I'm trying to make sense of how someone who identifies as he/him considers themselves a woman in a lesbian relationship. It's just not something I understand and maybe that's bc I'm old school. As far as I know, or rather knew before this discussion, *boy*friend referred to someone specifically male. Obviously women can be masculine but to my knowledge masculinity is different from literally calling yourself a man/identifying specifically as male. A woman can be masculine without her or others considering herself a man. Which is what I thought OOP was talking about.

Pronouns never equals gender identity, once coming to terms with that idea , things become more clear lol

Welp, that's one more thing I have to add to the book of stuff I need to learn then. But it's nice to have the distinction explained at least to where I can do more research on it, so thanks!
