She prefers she/her iirc :)
Do you know why? I'm curious because she presents as masculine and doesn't seem to have any hangups presenting as such so it leaves me a bit confused. Like, with gender being a social contruct and all, gender neutral pronouns for all is my personal ideal, but yeah I don't get why someone would choose pronouns associated with the gender they don't actually "traditionally" present as. Is it about being intentionally subversive?
Gender identity != gender expression. Haven't watched the video but maybe she going for more of a butch look? Some trans women go for more of a butch look cuz that's what feels right for them (source me).
As far as I can tell, they physically present as masculine (albeit non-traditionally), perhaps with elements of femininity (I mean when it comes to specifics that kinda stuff is subjective), rather than butch/masculine femininity or smthn.
I just checked their reddit acc (u/anarcho-stripperism) and they still have their preferred pronouns as they/she/them, and seeing that they're anarchist, perhaps they are going for a more subversive breaking-the-gender-binary thing (which I think is cool!) rather than something specifically about gender identity.
She has said she needed to present masculine to be able to earn her living through sex work, I believe
Ohhh :/
