You’ve heard of #Novembutch, now get ready for #Defemmeber!

Coming next month (starting December 1st), let’s follow up with our own femme tag! Keeping with the same guidelines as Novembutch, post a picture of your gorgeous selves everyday and tag it with #Defemmeber.

In the mean time, lets show our butches support by reblogging their fine selves all November long! 💗

Inktober day 2 / on the brain

[kaleighfratkins]

It’s good that we’re having these conversations about how butches don’t have male privilege, but I think a lot of y’all are…missing the point, at least to a degree. 

It’s true that butchness doesn’t come with a specific code of behaviors or personality traits - butches can be kind, gentle, shy, silly, soft, nurturing, etc.! That is absolutely true! But we don’t have to be any of those things in order to qualify as women. Being tough or aggressive doesn’t magically grant us male privilege, and in the 1950s-60s bar scene where butch/femme culture originated, butches tended to develop these “tough” “aggressive” attitudes so we could cope with and defend ourselves from the horrific violence we experienced at the hands of men. I’m using the past tense here, but homophobia, transphobia, and misogyny still affect us, sometimes in equally violent ways. 

If you say “Butches don’t have male privilege” and mean “Butches don’t have male privilege as long as they don’t talk too much or take up too much space”, then you don’t actually support us.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever missed telling a doctor about an important symptom because you’re so used to it you kind of just thought that was what bodies do.

Anyway, I think cis women who like see trans women as sisters have a certain obligation on this site to actively counter terf recruiting. Because I regularly see terfs actively recruit teenagers and young adults into their ideology (a strategically smart move if you want your otherwise dying brand of hate to stay relevant into the future). Cis allies, especially our radfem allies need to be actively countering that. Trans women, especially trans dykes like myself can’t do anything to counter it because thy kids they go after already a priori assume we have subhuman status. It can literally only be actively fought by cis women.

@sapphic--seraphic look at all these happy lesbian couples

[wlwellbutrin]

it disturbs me that a lot of lesbians i talk to seem to think bi women dating men are in similar material positions to straight women. the reality is that regardless of a bi woman’s current or past relationship status, she will always share a fundamental level of understanding with me as a lesbian. certainly there are material benefits conferred on m/f relationships, but that doesn’t stop the woman in question from continuing to experience homophobia—particularly, though not exclusively, at the hands of her boyfriend! bi women are always treated differently than straight women and if your rhetoric obscures or denies that then it’s bad rhetoric.

Butches! Consider this: if your jacket isn’t slightly too big, how will you wrap it around your girl when she’s cold and make her feel loved and safe? Pick up your too-big jacket today!
