I’m sorry but femmes are out here writing damn near poetry about butches and the way y’all impact and uplift our lives. And butches deserve this praise? Of course!

But I can’t seem to stop seeing examples of a femme going to a butch and asking directly, begging even “what makes a femme a femme? If I don’t wear dresses and makeup am I still a femme to you?” and see a butch straight up respond “You’re just a femme because you say so! But I do prefer girls who wear makeup and dresses”

Femmes, you are such caretakers. I watch you angle yourself between the butches in your life and the creepy old man, because he may try to grab your ass but at least the bouncer will toss him if it happens to you.

I watch you pack your purse with sunscreen, pads, bandaids, floss picks, and chapstick because you never know who might need it.

I watch you curate your beauty as a gift - what perfume would light up their senses, what dress will get the night off on a fun foot, not for vanity but to genuinely create a sense of ambience for those around you.

I see you leading the conversations between cishets and the queer community, putting yourself in an uncomfortable position and using your “traditional” wiles to ensure that the correct pronouns/[insert behavior here] is both modeled and followed to those who simply will not open their ears to those they find too “confusing”.

I see you weaponize your domesticity to create soft spaces for hard working people to land, yourself included, creating fertile ground for our future to be built.

Femmes, you have uplifted my life with unkempt hair and stained sweatpants. You have made me feel seen and safe and queer and FEM regardless of how much effort I put in that morning. While I love being in community with butches, you have to remember you are not just their counterparts. You have a distinct identity that encompasses sex and gender and presentation and societal roles and ALL of it deserves to be uplifted 💕

at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.

like it becomes very obvious how reduced queer femininity is as soon as one realizes that femmeposting is done w/ exclusively she/her pronouns while butchposting gets to avail itself of a truly dizzying range of (neo)pronouns

Being an actor keeps me sane. Yeah I have to work a day job but know what? When my day job is stressful and I want to scream I get to go hey wait. I have a scream scheduled at 7:30 tonight. Gotta save up. And then I go back to what I was doing.

My mom left an eviction notice for the carpenter bees burrowing into our porch

What do you mean she loves my broad shoulders? What do you mean she thinks about my big arms? What do you mean she plays with the callouses on my hands? What do you mean she loves the parts of me I was taught to hate?

looooove when a pretty femme is ALLL TALK. i mean super forward in texts, making eyes at you at dinner, yapping about all her favorite things while she holds your hand.

and then she can’t even form a sentence when you’re finally inside of her slowly taking her apart. cant even beg for what she wants.

“Awww poor baby. Look at you. Look how wet you got from just a couple touches. Awww don’t be shy now, princess. Oooh, soooo noisy. I’ve got you. Thank you for letting me see you like this.”

Nobody tells you the part about radical self love where you know yourself so well and know how you deserved to be loved, that you also find out all the ways that the people closest to you simply cannot provide that love.
