Question inspired by this really fancy blog about men who look like old lesbians, which basically made me laugh until I cried, but I know ILX can do even better.
Here's my rather predictable offering:

That's a great fucking post.
basically what makes an old man look like an old lesbian is not being bald. that's pretty much it.
Facial hair, too, of course--which often goes with baldness.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 5 October 2022 00:58 (one year ago) link
lol, yeah, forgot facial hair was a thing for a second
i should also add that photographs are also fairly poor at representing perhaps the two most important ways we gender people - height and voice. take the picture of taylor swift and paul mccartney - she has her arm around his shoulder and they're the same height (5'11"). it's pretty easy to look at that picture and see them as a lesbian couple. would we see it the same way if taylor swift was 5'2"?
― Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 5 October 2022 01:52 (one year ago) link
McCartney must have heels on in that case.

height is more like women's clothing sizes - there's what you might call a high standard deviation within any particular number.
― Kate (rushomancy), Wednesday, 5 October 2022 09:45 (one year ago) link
one of the great things about being a lesbian is that you can look like taylor swift or paul mccartney or any of the kids in the hall or, well, anybody you like. and these days, instead of saying "she looks like a man!" they'll instead say, without any particular malice against _you_, that anyone who resembles you looks like a lesbian. i think that's pretty awesome.
