5. I think most of it is misogyny

And a smaller proportion is aimed at gender role enforcement.

I do get shit for being a female bodied person who wears men's clothing much of the time. But I don't think it is nearly the level of hostility that male bodied persons get for wearing clothing thought to be 'female'.

It all makes my head spin. What the fuck is with people policing other people's clothing and gender expression? Not. Their Business.

Female bodied folks do have more freedom to be gender nonconforming and that makes me feel sad.
