So I really hope this doesn’t scream internalized misogyny but I (cis f) generally don’t vibe that much with very feminine/typical girly girls. I know that sounds very cliché but it’s just been my experience. I get along better with women than men but, less girly women. I enjoy makeup but I have zero interest in anything hair/nail/heels/dress related. My partner originally told me she was “definitely not” a girly girl and she was more of a “flannel lesbian” (as she called it). Well, she’s definitely way more hyper feminine than I thought.

I realize that she’s only been out for a month or so, and there’s a chance she’s just trying everything out. But I’m genuinely a bit put off by the changes in personality/vernacular. The women I have been with in the past have all been masculine presenting so this is all definitely new to me.

I feel so bad but I wish she was more of a tomboy because talking about dresses and nail polish is just so not my thing. She’s also changing the words she uses and her expressions and it’s been so...odd for me. She initially stressed that the person I knew was still there, she’d just undergo physical changes.

But this is very much not the person I knew. And I’m not sure how to deal with that.
