Hot take maybe idk but I think the whole femboy fetishization thing/joke from straight men is just misogyny/sexism/homophobia directed onto someone else but packaged in such a way to look lighthearted

straight men love fetishizing people whose identities they don’t see as valid/people they don’t see as people

I mean, kind of? I would personally say it’s often also the other way around, with the homophobia coming out because they find something hot and think that it’s wrong, and because they refuse to explore it in a healthy way it just turns into fetishization. I don’t think they people routinely “jokingly” fetishizing people are doing it purely because they’re homophobic

Yeahhh it’s something that’s hard to come to terms with and accept as a fact that they will always see us this way to some degree
