the girl who is comfy in bed yearns to be On The Computer. The girl who is On The Computer yearns to be comfy in bed. Thus does desire become the root of all suffering

The Butchies (1998-2005) are an all-lesbian punk rock band from Durham, North Carolina. The Butchies has been referred to as "queercore crusaders" and the frequent focus of their lyrical content concerns lesbian themes.

Made up of guitarist and frontwoman Kaia Wilson, bassist Alison Martlew, and drummer Melissa York.

Something to be said about how often butch lesbians are drawn with narrow hips and barely any tit as compared to drawings of femmes and osa women.

It just doesn't feel progressive to me, sorry.

[hmsindecision]

The idea that hip and breast size are tied to sexual identity or preferences is misogyny and homophobia and this is a great example!

The idea that liking women, not performing femininity, or being butch means that you must look “like a man” is just as silly as thinking women with large breasts have inherently large libidos.

Butch lesbians are women and that means that many of them have large breasts, wide hips, and other COMPLETELY NORMAL biological markers of being female.

If you have trouble with this, you should think about decolonizing your views on the community 💕

(sorry to add to this epic post) but I think it also perpetuates the idea that women's sex characteristics are accessories to an aesthetic and not just neutral parts of our bodies. You'll see teenagers on tiktok talking about how "my boobs dont match this outfit" and whatnot.

This line of thinking is something people with dysphoria and body dysmorphia need to root out. Female bodies are not commodities that you can purchase upgrades or modifications for. Your natural body does not need to be modified according to "suit" your preferred style of dress. It's super harmful to GNC women. Women's bodies "match" every type of expression because men don't own board shorts, tank tops, and crew cuts. You're disrespecting butches when you say they do.

If you are a woman, you need to learn to be selfish sometimes. You need to get comfortable being perceived as selfish. This is 100% a vital skill in a world that expects and demands you sacrifice yourself for others at every opportunity.

"bUt i tHiNk mAKeUp is fUn" that's nice. i would like to be allowed to exist without it without being socioeconomically punished for that choice but what's important to focus on here is that you're just having the funnest time ever

This doesn’t happen unless you’re so ugly that you need makeup to look normal (in which case this post is a bit of a self-own)

[meangirlnurse]

cool misogyny! i forgot that being beautiful is the only moral way for a woman to exist. what an Epic Own on behalf of a multibillion dollar industry!!!!

Three butch friends of mine finishing the basement of my first house around 1996.   They worked for beer, and not even anything fancy.

Breakfast with an old friend. AKA the hammer wielding butch on the left of the “Three butches”photo. It had been over 10 years since we’d seen each other. Too long my friend.

i'm actually so sick of people who aren't detrans and have no idea what it is like to struggle with dysphoria and have your entire social and personal and even economic situation inextricably tied to a trans identity rocking up on FTMs posts to insinuate they're stupid pea brained imbeciles. especially when there was nothing wrong with the post itself. like i'm glad you found a type of woman you can enjoy humiliating and making a mockery of guilt-free whenever you want, no matter what the content of their words actually is. that must feel so great for you.

When my aunt was in her late 20s people used to rudely ask her “Why aren’t you married yet?” and she’d reply “Just lucky, I guess” which I think is one of the best things I have ever heard

every time a tumblr user mentions men on a post about women/lesbians a little baby puppy dies. did you know that. did you ever think about that. consider the consequences of your actions

[tiredyke]

people really cannot grasp the idea of a lesbian. no matter how little interest you show in relationships with men and how much you stress that that is not part of your life they still hold out hope or expectation that you will eventually find a boyfriend and that spending any time with a man indicates romantic interest. like oh my god how do people continuously fail to understand lesbianism as a real identity and way of life
