Now why would a trans womon wear a skirt if she's a butch?

[marjaerwin]

Some possible reasons:

- She isn't a butch, but she is somewhat butch.

- She is a butch, but she doesn't feel bound by how others define butch and/or she wants to mess with how others define butch.

- She might be a butch, and isn't far past transition, and is still figuring out whether she is a butch, or not, or is just working out her style.

- She might be feeling insecure about her body and/or her life. She encounters images of femme beauty, and few images of butch beauty. She might get a confidence boost by being able to match femme beauty, if and when she chooses.

- Or she might be feeling pressured by other people's beauty standards. She might need a confidence boost from knowing she can match those beauty standards, if she ever needs to.

- She might be feeling happy about discovering/reclaiming her womonhood. She might use clothes, arbitrarily associated with womyn, not with men, to celebrate. It happens.

- Or it might be laundry day.

Really, I don't see why anyone should need to argue about it.
