So-called "gender critical" people don't support the right to wear whatever you want, free of gender stereotypes. Recently, I wrote: "WDI Co-Author Doesn't Support Dressing However You Like". It's a 7-minute read on Medium.
This issue is persistent. On August 9, Kellie-Jay Keen tweeted:
She was referring to Seann Altman (who uses he/him pronouns), an actor in a Disney ad who deliberately dressed up like Minnie Mouse. Kellie-Jay Keen didn't like his voice in the ad. Someone argued, well, maybe he sounds like that because he has a gay man's voice. Kellie-Jay Keen insisted: No, this is a man imitating a woman. He sounds coquettish, i.e., flirty. (Of course. He was imitating Minnie Mouse in a paid performance.)
KJK wants a man to wear men's clothes and have a man's voice. She expects conformity to gender stereotypes.

Gender-critical people do not actually support your right to wear whatever you like. They support gender stereotypes.
