Ngl it's getting a lil bit annoying seeing super detailed and nuanced posts about lesbian gender identity, the importance of butchfemme dynamics and its history and the celebration of lesbian gender non-conformity then when it comes to studs and stems everyone can only say 'I didn't know studs were Black!' and 'I thought stem was a lesbian that did science haha'
I didn't become the stemme historian™ overnight obviously. I didn't know a lot myself (which is why I made this account) but it's still annoying how Black lesbian masculinity and femininity (or androgyny) are left as an afterthought. What happens when we go from 'I don't know anything about Black queer labels' to 'Why don't I know anything about Black queer labels?'
