If you're a white femme and you want to participate in our communities, you need to start doing self-reflective anti-racism learning and work. The amount of harrassment and gaslighting directed towards studs and butches of color by white femmes on this website is absolutely abhorrent. They're siblings, family, friends, lovers, and most importantly, people deserving of care and respect. If we're not working to make the world safer them, we're failing in our role as femmes. Do better.

"Butchness is wanting. Butchness is aggressive passion restrained by expectations and protections you've had to build to protect your heart and your life. Butchness is a romantic, pleading heart under a heartbreaker's leather jacket. Butchness is not always being able to ask for what you want, but wanting to be understood and supported and loved and cared for so badly, as much as any of us"

advice to the young lesbians out there: who you actually are as a person is infinitely more interesting, endearing, and overall better than trying to emulate some fabricated persona of the ideal cool lesbian you see online. be silly. be goofy. have a unique sense of style. like weird things. be loud. be awkward. be dorky. we’re LESBIANS. we didn’t get into this business to try to conform and look like the cool kids. that’s never what we’ve been about.

Hey this movie is really important in queer history! It was the first feature length film directed by a black lesbian! You can watch it here for free!

I really recommend you do because while it is a rom-com (and a drama), it also looks at how the stories of black queers are over looked in history.
