This is a pretty good article, I have seen it all firsthand. Most people who aren't close to me don't know that I am a transwoman, I found a sort of pseudo stealth ended up being the best practice for me but that doesn't really insulate me from femmephobia only from outright transphobia.
I tend to dress feminine and conservative mostly, as some of my friends would tease "as if you're going to church with your husband". That is by the way meant as a pejorative, since I am an exclusively homosexual woman, who is also an atheist and a socialist. There is this expectation that due to how I present myself I must be less commited to these things somehow. Also, people seem shocked when I tell them things that seem "smart" as if women who wear dresses are meant to be dumb. Likewise people are surprised when I take control of a situation expecting me to be an unambitious follower who just needs to get home to my children, yet short haired women without makeup are expected to take charge.
