Yeah, something is completely off about his face right now. It's kind of freaky.

I don't know if I see the resemblance but LOL at Em looking like Phranc. I saw her open for Morrissey once a long time ago and had completely forgotten about her. wow. "M-A-R-T-I-N-A"

― fetter

speaking as someone who was assigned male at birth and has for the last several years been taking drugs to turn herself into an old lesbian, it's not really an "aesthetic" per se

first off there's not nearly as much difference between the physical appearance of "men" and "women" as a lot of people seem to think. this lack of difference is, i'd argue, a large part of _why_ clothing is so aggressively gendered. for a lot of people it is Very Important to know upon first looking at someone what their gender is.

since the culture we exist in now is patriarchal, the way this manifests itself is that male is an _unmarked_ gender, and female is a _marked_ gender - maleness is not something that is "performed", per se, just a sort of default state of being. pre-transition i can't say i ever went to a lot of effort to "perform masculinity". i mean, i smelled bad and had a receding hairline. that's about it.

lesbians are often taken to be "butch", to do male gender performance, and absolutely there are plenty of lesbians who do that, but for me, lesbianism is more a matter of _not doing gender performance for the benefit of straight men_. the last thing i want to do is look like a man, but i _don't_ dress femme most of the time.

"old" is certainly a factor as well - when cis women go through menopause they stop making as much estrogen, which i can tell you firsthand makes a pretty big difference in how a person looks. a woman who's not taking hormone replacement therapy (which was, of course, invented for cis women) is going to look more... _androgynous_, let's say.

basically what makes an old man look like an old lesbian is not being bald. that's pretty much it.

anyway, i'm going to continue to use this thread as my own personal version of Her. swiping right on Stone Gossard (shit, they had me when they started calling themselves _Stone_, yummmm), left on Jimmy, Paul, and Joe. (i'm assuming stone would be ENM given how prominent their ring is in their PFP. i'd still want to meet their nesting partner.)

Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 5 October 2022 00:42 (three years ago)

this came out wrong. that's not necessarily what "butch" is. apologies.

Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 5 October 2022 00:45 (three years ago)

That's a great fucking post.

basically what makes an old man look like an old lesbian is not being bald. that's pretty much it.

Facial hair, too, of course--which often goes with baldness.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 5 October 2022 00:58 (three years ago)

lol, yeah, forgot facial hair was a thing for a second

i should also add that photographs are also fairly poor at representing perhaps the two most important ways we gender people - height and voice. take the picture of taylor swift and paul mccartney - she has her arm around his shoulder and they're the same height (5'11"). it's pretty easy to look at that picture and see them as a lesbian couple. would we see it the same way if taylor swift was 5'2"?

Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 5 October 2022 01:52 (three years ago)

McCartney must have heels on in that case.

― Fronted by a bearded Phil Collins (Tom D.)

height is more like women's clothing sizes - there's what you might call a high standard deviation within any particular number.

Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 5 October 2022 09:45 (three years ago)

one of the great things about being a lesbian is that you can look like taylor swift or paul mccartney or any of the kids in the hall or, well, anybody you like. and these days, instead of saying "she looks like a man!" they'll instead say, without any particular malice against _you_, that anyone who resembles you looks like a lesbian. i think that's pretty awesome.

i can tell you what trans woman kevin shields looks like to me in that picture, and she's not clocky

Kate (rushomancy), Monday, 26 August 2024 15:13 (one year ago)

Clocky?

Clocky?

― calstars

oh um. how do i explain this.

to "clock" someone, as a verb, is to look at someone and say "oh, i do believe that person is a transgender woman". except the word dates back to probably at least the 1950s, and in the 1950s, that's not would people would generally say. they'd generally do a double-take and shout "THAT'S A MAN!" "Clocking" is largely dependent on the observer and not on the observed, but in some cases, the appearance or behavior of the observed can have an effect on the number of people who "clock" them, and these people are referred to as "clocky".

it's a complicated term these days. trans women on twitter/x use it a lot. i do personally use the term, but i also, in certain contexts, refer to myself as a "tranny faggot". in other words, "clock" and "clocky" are problematic terms to use, even for a trans woman like myself. i avoid using the term in largely-trans places online, but since this isn't a largely-trans place...

it's largely a transfem term, that i can tell. idk, it's kinda interesting. trans guys tend to get read as "dykes" but the cultural significance of "dyke" is kinda different than that of "faggot". there can definitely be a stigma to it but it's not the _same_ sort of stigma. i had some hesitation about whether or not i could call myself a "dyke", but i had a lot more hesitation about calling myself a "faggot".

this is... this is just wild speculation here, but what i do see, anecdotally, is that it's more common for someone who's transmasc to come out as queer and accept themselves as queer earlier than it is for someone who's transfem to come out as queer pre-transition. it was really important to me, early on, that people not look at me and think i was a gay man. it's not that important to me now, probably in large part because nobody actually does that. being an effeminate man is just way more stigmatized than being a masculine woman is.

and this is where we get to the topic of this thread. gender presentation is not nearly as clear-cut as people seem to think it is. i did have a habit of trying to "clock" people early on, just because it made me feel less isolated, more visible as a trans woman. and what i found was that i wound up doing what a lot of people trying to "clock" women do - i came to false conclusions due to my cultural biases. that lady has a deep voice. that lady is six feet tall. literally i know cis women who get "clocked" as trans more often than i do. that's not a humblebrag, that's me talking about the deeply problematic way "clocking" winds up policing "acceptable" ways of performing womanhood. it's almost like a sort of transvestigation-lite.

but it's important to trans women because it does matter if we pass. trans women get treated better if we pass than if we don't, and a lot of us do value passing very much. so in trans women, i'd say "clocking" does serve that sort of purpose - critically evaluating other trans women to try and increase our own ability to "pass" in a society that often treats non-"passing" trans women very poorly.

pre-transition, i was strongly implicitly encouraged to try and determine someone's gender as soon as possible. i needed to do this so i could figure out if i wanted to fuck them. i don't really understand it. i don't know where i picked up that idea, but i did. i didn't want to fuck _anybody_. even if i say, well, maybe it's about relationships, a lot of the time i did this i was happily in a monogamous relationship. it was just something that felt _necessary_.

maybe there's a bit of that in my clocking trans women. i'm attracted to all kinds of people but particularly to trans women. these days i just... i just don't care about someone's gender. i look at someone and i don't make that determination of gender first. i just notice if i find someone attractive, i don't think about whether i'm _allowed_ to find them attractive. someone i used to know had a meme they loved a lot about someone going up to a trans woman and saying "damn yo ass fat, what's your pronouns?" and to me, that speaks to the same thing, that if people are attracted to me, i'd like them to be attracted to me first and worry about my gender later. a lot of people, when dating, pay a lot of attention to genitals, and when it comes to me personally, i find a lot of that attention undue.

and when i think about the difference in the thread - is this a cis man, or a lesbian? - to me, there's this common implicit assumption of, well, these are people it's not "acceptable" for a cishet man to be sexually attracted to. particularly when you specify _old_ lesbians.

and i'm not a cishet man. i'm a middle-aged woman. i'm attracted to older women, particularly older queer woman. i hope someday to be an old lesbian, and here's this thread full of pictures of men who supposedly look like me?

anyway, circling back around to the notion of kevin shields looking like a trans woman ("clocky" or otherwise) - there is this inherent stigma of, you know, dude looks like a lady. to my understanding, "dude looks like a lady" _isn't_ about a transgender woman, but an effeminate-looking cisgender man. a man who, perhaps, looks like an old lesbian.

it does come down to that for me. i look at that picture of kevin shields, or an earlier picture of matt smith, and in both cases my response is "she's hot. i'd get with her. him. whatever."

-

i guess if i had to boil it down to one complaint it would be this: speaking as a lesbian, a lot of you people have _terrible taste in lesbians_. in fact, i will now tell you which people in this thread post-cut i am attracted to in a lesbian way, based on their pictures

dwight yoakam
craig kilborn
donald j trump jr (look i'm not saying i _don't_ have terrible taste in lesbians.)
the goo goo doll with the neck tat (oh my god those guns, girrrl i want to watch you chop wood)
beck

that's it. those are the only ones.

well, sort of. i do find macaulay culkin in that picture attractive but he doesn't look like a lesbian in that picture. he looks like a burnout hipster nerd dude. i'm attracted to those guys in an entirely different way from the way i'm attracted to lesbians.

FWIW, DJTJ only made the thread because he posed for <that photo> with multiple-postee ITT Kyle Rittenhouse.

to "clock" someone, as a verb, is to look at someone and say "oh, i do believe that person is a transgender woman". except the word dates back to probably at least the 1950s, and in the 1950s, that's not would people would generally say. they'd generally do a double-take and shout "THAT'S A MAN!"

Interesting because "to clock" just means to see or notice in UK slang and I would have sworn it was specifically English (probably Cockney) but it seems it was first cited in the US in the 40s. However I've never heard anyone use it in that sense in US film or TV whereas you hear a lot in the UK (specifically again in films or TV programmes set in London).

you clocking the Enemy you should be clocking the time

this thread obviously sucks imo, it plays into shitty stereotypes and the premise seems to be that these men are worthy of ridicule for their appearance.

brimstead, Monday, 26 August 2024 22:33 (one year ago)

Am I out of line here? Always seemed weird that this thread didn’t get clocked awhile ago

brimstead, Monday, 26 August 2024 22:34 (one year ago)

not at all, i'm strongly in favor of this thread being locked, i just hate being the representative of the Woke Trans Agenda declaring that nobody is allowed to have any fun

Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 27 August 2024 00:39 (one year ago)

yeah this is a tired thread from the naughty oughties and just feels a bit mean spirited, except for roasting the Goo Goo Dolls of which I approve 100%

― Andy the Grasshopper

to be clear i am not roasting the goo goo dolls in any way shape or form. not even spit-roasting. i'm body-positive and don't believe in shaming people for their bodies in any way, shape, or form. i still remember the amount of shit pete burns got for the surgery he had. shaming a femme for having surgery to make his body more feminine? yeah, that hasn't aged well. i haven't heard the goo goo dolls' music in, i don't know, 20 years or so, i don't know anything about them as a band. i find the guy with the neck tat physically attractive.

Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 27 August 2024 01:15 (one year ago)

nobody is being shamed?

budo jeru, Tuesday, 27 August 2024 01:45 (one year ago)

I always thought this was a “cringe” thread tbh … because it presupposes what an “old lesbian” looks like. Unless the “old” refers to historical figures who were known to be lesbians… but … there isn’t just one look. Idk my great great aunt that we used to take to Lyon’s restaurant and have Montecristo sandwiches near the Prunedale shopping center in the 80s was a lesbian. She looked like Estelle Getty as Sofia in the Golden Girls… but Sofia wasn’t a lesbian… just a little old white lady … so …

this thread is inherently a challenge to expectations of stereotypes, and in practice a celebration of diversities of presentation
