As some of the other respondants pointed out, style is one method we use to recognize one another (not that it’s always a trustworthy method–believe me!) Speaking for myself, comfort also has a lot to do with it. Short hair is easier to care for than long hair, and ‘masculine’ clothing is often easier to move around in than a lot of fashionable women’s clothing. I sometimes think being a lesbian makes it easier to dress how I like than being straight would, since I don’t worry about being attractive to men.
