It's not that it's less or more heteronormative per se, I'm having a hard time putting the phenomenon into words. It's more that it's what is heavily expected in that fandom/subculture (and also expected/stereotyped of IRL femboys too). I'm not exactly sure what to call it, it's very much tied into the idea of the feminine person being the submissive one though. A good counter example would be how lots of people view butch women as the "top" in their relationships, especially if their partner is femme. It's the whole "feminine=bottom/sub"/"masc=top/dom". In the case of femboys and bifauxnen (or any woman at all really) their presentation very much dictates the stereotypical roles they're put into, not their actual gender. There's this idea that femboys are soft, subby bottoms and their partner needs to be the one "leading"/"topping", no matter who that partner may be. To see a femboy topping at all is pretty uncommon, and super rare to see them paired off with women, and rarer STILL for that woman to be masculine.

The butch example might not be the best choice, considering that Stone Butch lesbians are a thing in real life and I don't think calling real life lesbians heteronormative is a respectful thing to do.
