gender roles and gender presentation are absolutely linked. Talk to butch women and gay men about their experiences.

Homophobia & transphobia are actual problems. Radfems whining that women are still expected to be mothers & look pretty are not. Don't do it

What forces compel them to adopt traditional gender roles if they simply don't want to do that? Apart from losing some social conservatives?
