Sure, to an extent. A very shallow extent. Homophobia is actual persecution for being gay. When I say "persecution", I mean being mercilessly insulted, your life threatened, physically beaten and left for dead if murder wasn't the intent in the first place. I've witnessed and even used to take part in some of it, too, a long time ago. Not something I'm proud of. THAT is what it truly means to be a homophobe.
As you can see in ny profile picture, I'm clearly a woman. I have very long hair, feminine features, and dress in a feminine manner. Unfortunately, my parents named me after my father, so my name is Robbie. One year, I asked my husband if we could get one of those custom license plates made for the front of our car at our local fair, and he refused because (direct quote) "I don't want people to think I'm gay." I was honestly devastated, and we argued about it for a week. He finally realized why it had hurt my feelings and offered to get one, but I didn't even want it anymore. TL;DR. OP, I sort of feel your pain.
First of all, why does he care if people think he's gay? Its not like being called gay is ******* offensive. It'd be like calling someone a brunette if they're a redhead. Its not offensive, just untrue. Secondly, if OP doesn't care if people misgender her and she's happy the way she is, he needs to shut the **** up. Just because you're in a relationship with someone, that doesn't mean you have a say in their body and appearance. It sounds like the bf is insecure and needs to learn some boundaries.
Buy him a T-Shirt that says I am less a man, and kick him in the junk a few times while he is trying to read it. If he is so ashamed of you, then he isn't worth being with.
He is probably suggesting that your torso isn't extremely noticeable...still it shouldn't matter
That's funny, I thought we didn't have to dress a certain way just because it pleases other people. Maybe that only applies to teenage peer pressure in high school.
Once again, people disappoint me. I feel there's a bit of a double standard here. Personally, I've had exes that told me I should dress more nicely because it's a poor reflection on them when I don't. And it's not that I dress badly, just simply. Very clean, just a t shirt and jeans most days. Never once has a female stood up for me and said I should be able to wear what I want, every time they would agree with her. I also know several guys who have had similar experiences. I really think it's crappy that I'm in the wrong because I don't want to spend all my money on expensive clothes just to wear them to college classes. I think it sucks the kind if t shirt that OP's bf wants her to wear because it is offensive, but dressing more feminine because he doesn't like the way her current appearance reflects on him doesn't seem unreasonable if special dress is expected of myself and many other guys.
BREAK UP WITH HIM
or you could maybe start looking like a girl.
