So It's not okay for me who identify as male to have an opinion about this topic but fuck what anyone else thinks! As long as you're happy that's all that matters real talk 💯

if butch is gender non conforming, would that mean femme is gender conforming? im not sure i understand the femme half of the butch/femme dynamic

not really, it’s kind of hard to explain but the way i understand it is that it’s reclaiming femininity as a lesbian? i’m not femme so i’m not really good at explaining it bxhbbdbdb

Femme is gender norm SUBVERTING, butch is gender norm REJECTING.

Butches reclaim their identity by rejecting the norms placed on womanhood by the patriarchy. If men say women must be soft, fragile, and gentle, butches are hard, strong, and assertive.

Femmes reclaim their identity by SUBVERTING the norms placed on womenhood by the patriarchy. If men say women must dress ‘girly’ and have long flowing hair and wear makeup and heels in order to be attractive to men, femmes say “I’ll be soft and beautiful and feminine, but it’s not for you, it’s for other women.”

That’s why butch and femme are lesbian only identities. Not only did lesbians make them, but they are inherently tied up with rejecting men and decentering men in our lives. They’re identities that both revolve around being women-aligned and only attracted to other women-aligned people at the specific and aggressive exclusion of men.

No.

Why are the young up and coming lgbt making everything over? Can we just leave it as if you’re butch then you’re butch. Lesbians are lesbians and feminine women are just feminine. Stop making everything complicated damn! Every one doesn’t have to fall into a spectrum.

@str8p you are a man. being trans doesn’t make you less of a man, and if you think it does, you have some internalized transphobia to unlearn. you are not a lesbian. you may have identified as a lesbian in the past, but as you are a MAN WHO IS NOT A LESBIAN, you have no place speaking on these identities. you don’t have any place telling lesbians how to identify when you aren’t fucking one lmao

@soloontherocks i’m screaming

I am not telling a lesbian how to see themselves all I’m saying is that it use to be a lot easier to identify as simple lesbian,butch, stud, and trans then it has become today . also i am correct that a lot of people do not like to identify as a new identities that are developed these days.

So because I am ftm people think i have no right in stating how i feel in anything regarding lesbians or anything lgbt

Last time i check i still have the right to give my outlook just the same as you regardless of what i identify as and its ashamed as how you can give your opinion on an lgbt topic but try to put me down as a trans person for stating my opinion.
