[blushedfemmes]

a femme who always takes pics to show off their new nails and uses their butch as a prop. laying their hand on her throat or raking their nails along her bare chest or back, and the caption is something innocent like ‘isn’t this new set so cute~’

okay bitch we gotta have a talk. in this post i won't even say my view on said discourse so you can see how serious i am about respecting cultures and knowing when to stop. when it comes to lesbian identities and discourse about "male lesbians" its okay to just leave it at what happened in america with american lesbian history. seriously. AS A WHITE PERSON YOU SHOULD NOT BE POLICING LABELS LIKE WLW/NMLNM AND SAYING ITS ANTI BLACK WHEN ITS NOT. you don't actually care especially when multiple black people have said it is not fucking anti black to use that label! you just want to use a gotcha because the person didn't care about the western lesbian history your using to prove your point so u use anti blackness as a gotcha and thats weird as hell. AS A AMERICAN/NON AFRICAN YOU SHOULD NOT BE SPEAKING ON AFRICAN LESBIANISM AND TWISTING OUR CULTURE TO FIT YOUR ARGUMENT. we did not use man lesbian in the way you want us to. i have been surrounded by older african lesbian elders, african lesbians, and trans men. we have never had history of men being lesbians. some of our cultures dont have words like butch or femme. learn to speak on what you are. american, white etc. dont use anyone else's race or culture no matter how your intentions are. im pissed bc yall are weird

just need a femme to myself so i can come home and cuddle her. or so i can play with her clit and suck it between my lips while i pump my fingers in and out of her tight cunt. so i can manhandle her when i get back from the gym. or so i can eat her out whenever i want. so i have a pretty girl who’ll eat me out and undo my belt. a femme who will send me teasing pics while i’m in school or at the gym, anyone want to volunteer?

the sense of knowing that you're in a big transitional stage of your life. such a surreal feeling. exciting and terrifying and grief-filled and joyous all at once.
