Im Losing Followers For Reblogging A Post Rejecting The Notion That Butch And Femme Are Lesbian Exclusive

I’m losing followers for reblogging a post rejecting the notion that butch and femme are “lesbian exclusive” terms, and...Look, I was swayed by the wave of thinly-veiled lesbian separatist rhetoric on here and twitter, too, back when I was just coming into my identity as a lesbian and didn’t know enough to identify that rhetoric for what it was—but it’s all a lie. I did my own reading, and the undeniable truth is that women who now would probably identify as bi were part of lesbian butch/fem(me) bar culture. The undeniable truth is that the terms butch and fem(me) were used in the ball scene. The undeniable truth is that anyone saying otherwise is repackaging white, upper-class second wave lesbian separatist rhetoric, which is inherently colonial and white. There is a reason why Black American feminists of the second wave went so far as to start their own movement (Womanism), that being that these white university educated upper-middle to upper-class feminists were full of shit.

Give me some time and I’ll write a cited essay on it this weekend.

i don't have a ton of words on it but having to be just masculine enough to be read as Man Enough but not TOO masculine to avoid been seen as an Evil Horrible Abusive Man is hell, especially since im gnc and don't identify as Man anyways

Love local coffee shops. your “refugees are welcome here” sign goes really well with the one that says “bathrooms are for paying customers only”
