short hairstyles for women/butches

note: don’t know who these are for the most part! they might be gay, i just found them on google images. also this isn’t a ranked list i just like numbers

1. tapered and long

the top two are probably the best approximation of this cut. i like it because it’s floofy but you don’t necessarily have to have curls to pull it off

2. bowl cut pixie

ngl i thought i wasn’t going to like this but i’m actually a huge fan. gives me kind of edgy lisbeth salander vibes. this would be a really good way for femmes to flag too because it’s kinda off center of straight fashion

3. buzzcut

a classique and sexie look. buzzcuts looks rly good when they’re dyed if you’re into that (i especially love obnoxiously bright colours). if we’re doing characters, this reminds me of furiosa obviously and we all know she’s a lesbian legend

4. undercut

i’m obsessed with undercuts. it looks so so cute with curly hair or straight hair. i also like how it can be really soft or really severe depending on how you style it. it’s also super androgynous

5. short shag

terrible name but a super cute haircut. it’s softer than some of the other ones i have listed if that’s what you’re into. looks cute with curly or straight hair. gives me a bit of baby butch vibes.

6. pompadour

love it! classic! that janelle monae look? beautiful. it lengthens your face if that sweetens the deal for anyone. very dependable and handsome butch look. would highly recommend.

7. curly mohawk

this hairstyle is VERY important to me as a gay because it makes women look beautiful. the top right girl is literally my dream girl. also you can style it soft or really punk which is super hot.

8. random pics of women i found

wow i fuckign. i just love women! look at that! we really do short hair well ladies! thanks for reading my post i hope you enjoyed

pine ridge is also currently experiencing extreme winter conditions that has resulted in the stranding and inaccessibility of many ndns. please consider for any reason you may have, but especially in the wake of james cameron's disgusting and deplorable remarks about our people, assisting pine ridge and rosebud as we work to keep our people warm and fed. you can find several websites below which provide different assistance for both reservations!

Thousands are trapped on Pine Ridge Reservation. Here's how you can help

Indigenous tribes in South Dakota are fighting for their lives after 30 inches of snow and severe wind blocked roads. Here are some ways you

[senpatriarch]

Now correct me if I’m wrong but I think he was referring to the current plight of the Lakota tribe. That right now, their Nation is essentially FUBAR, and he imagined the Na’avi or whatever as a “What if the Lakota were able to see how fucked the future of their Nation would become, would that change how hard they fought?” I don’t think he was trying to say “lol fuck those Lakota pricks I’m built different”.

But one gets more internet clicks and requires way less thinking so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[waterinathermostat]

Gonna push back on this because no, that’s not really what he said. Here’s his actual words (shortened slightly for length)

“I felt like I was 130 years back in time watching what the Lakota Sioux might have been saying at a point when they were being pushed… killed… I couldn’t help but think that if they [the Lakota Sioux] had had a time-window, and they could see the future… and they could see their kids committing suicide at the highest suicide rates in the nation… because they were hopeless, and they were a dead-end society – which is what is happening now – they would have fought a lot harder.”

He’s saying both that they are currently a “dead-end society” and phrases it in a way that blames a lot of the systematic issues in native communities on the communities themselves, and also that 130 years ago (you know. Like at the time of the WOUNDED KNEE MASSACRE) they should’ve just fought harder against the Americans. This also feels really condescending towards them. You think they saw thousands of other tribes and communities slaughtered, pushed towards conversion or into reservations, stripped of their languages, cultures, lands and lives and they didn’t know how bad it was going to get? Nobody can ever predict future struggles that’s ridiculous to expect from any group.

He does actually say “fuck them I’m built different” because he has his own made up peoples endure and survive (thanks to the white guy they bring in too btw which is. Another thing all together) so it’s not just “for clicks” dude.

What is going on with the world??

[my-wanton-self-deactivated20191]

In a move that has sparked outcry from archaeologists, historians and locals, the Peruvian government has approved a multi-billion international airport near the famed site of Machu Picchu, Peru’s single most important tourist destination. Bulldozers have begun to clear millions of tons of earth for the project, which will be located in Chinchero, a picturesque Inca town.

Building the airport in this location will destroy an ancient landscape, one shaped by the Incan people with terraces and routes.

Critics also suggest that planes flying low over the nearby village of Ollantaytambo and its archaeological park filled with ruins and a massive Inca fortress with large stone terraces, would cause incalculable damage to fragile Inca ruins there and destroy the peace and beauty of the area.

The new airport will make access to the site much easier, and thus encourage greater numbers than ever before to visit.

But Machu Picchu is already overwhelmed by almost double the limit of tourists as recommended by UNESCO. [see also India’s Taj Mahal - an incredible site simply reeling under a relentless, ineffectively managed tourist, both domestic and international, onslaught]

It’s the constant battle between protecting the past and profiteering from it.

Just as a heads up, this is still happening. The most recent article I can find on it is from when Hyundai E&C helped break ground back in Dec. 2021 (find here), and I can’t locate anything that mentions it being called off since, so… yeah. Looks like this is still an issue.

[weskcourse]

you haven't provided proof tho... they didn't doxx you or anything. it's not really their fault if you got harassed. they didn't provide your socials, just things you said that anyone could see

The 'owe up' part was about them denying they'd ever made the post. Hence why they asked only for proof that the post was made by them and not anything else. I can absolutely provide proof that it is their post that directly lead to my being doxxed, if they so ask for it. The point is I gave them what they did ask for, and they have not so much as acknowledged that I did so.

[thingsifeelicantsayhere]

Hey bud

I’m not in this drama but I’ve looked it over, and SAS has a fucking disorder that causes memory issues. You’re expecting them to remember every single post they’ve ever made a year after they made it?

They apologized to you and clearly said they didn’t remember it. You also claimed you asked for the post to be deleted, which there’s been no proof of yet, and you claimed they blocked you, which there’s no proof of either. you’ve made a lot of claims without proof from the start, only adding “proof” later which was a single post SAS made, of a DNI that no longer even applies to you. It might be time to just… let it go?

Concept: Viktor and Klaus both coming out as Not Fuckin' Cis by Viktor saying that he doesn't use she/her pronouns anymore and Klaus responding by asking if he can have them and Viktor confusedly says "sure"

[twshitlord]

Pro-tip to young trans guys:

If a stranger misgenders you, please please please do not ever utter the phrase, “I’m a man.” It sounds very unnatural and immediately sounds overly defensive.

My advice? Just look at the person like they’re an idiot and, in the deepest voice possible, say, “Uh. Alright, then.”

Just act as though they made a huge and obvious mistake, and don’t get flustered. If you’re comfortable with it, handle the situation with humor and say something like, “Man, I know I’ve got a babyface, but I didn’t think it was that bad.”

[klaw]

and if someone doesn’t believe u, say you have a hormonal imbalance + are on meds for it. it’s quick, believable, and most ppl are too uncomfortable discussing health problems with strangers to question it.

[absurdjester]

THIS POST, hang on somewhere is the notes is a sentence that changed my whole fucking life! I don’t have time to dig for it right now but 👀

[absurdjester]

Can’t find it, going to just going to explain it. I’ve been out for like 4 and a half years. I saw this post when I was Freshly Out, and this post has been so deep in my fucking rat brain for actual years.

You have to react like you’re not expecting to be misgendered. It’s hard and it’s weird, because I know, you walk out into the world very aware and afraid of how the cis people are going to perceive you. But deadass there is a “Wow, that stranger has made a bold call there” mentality that, yeah it’s a fake it till you make it type of deal. But once I internalized that, I genuinely don’t even hear people misgendering me most of the time.

I’m nonbinary, most of the time my gender presentation priorities are Have Fun and Look Queer.

The first time I noticed that being misgendered slides off my brain like a wet duck I was in a 7/11 and a cashier tried to direct me to the cardboard drink sleeves while I was like 3rd or 4th in line (yeah it was kinda weird, I was holding a large hot coffee in my bare hand and I guess it freaked the dude out, but like my hands are actually really heat resistant I was fine, anyway) He said several variations on “Mam, would you like a cardboard sleeve for your coffee, they’re right there” and I legitimately did not process that he could possibly be talking to me until he tried something like “the one in the red hat” and then I tuned back in and declined the heat protectant sleeve. (I do not know why this human man was so insistent that I needed a heat protection cardboard sleeve, and I’m gathering that me totally zoned the fuck out to his multiple attempts to get my attention holding something that he apparently thought was made out of fucking lava probably had the exact Genderless Eldritch Horror effect that we all know and love)

I accidentally also did this to one of my professors a couple weeks ago, I was given an instruction with she/her pronouns in it, purely by accident, this professor genuinely does right by his trans students as best he can, but I legitimately did not even process that it was for me until he repeated it with they/them.

This compared with a couple years ago a different professor slipped up and used me in an example to the class with she/her pronouns and I literally barely held myself together until the end of the class, made it 4 steps out the door and started silently crying.

It feels fucking powerful in a “that should have hurt, and I didn’t even notice, cis people have no power over me” way. I have a little piece of the security that cis people have in the way that they interact with the world. And that is absolutely precious.

It takes untraining years of social conditioning, and pretending that you can’t fathom that someone would use those words on you, that no one has ever said that to you before and the words are so foreign that they mean nothing to you.

And yeah I started out begging my body not to flinch when a stranger calls out “mam”, and practicing a moment of confusion and unaffected disbelief when cashiers would ask if I found everything I was looking for “young lady” and deliberately ignoring the incorrect gendered terms. And you know op’s “Just look at the person like they’re an idiot, break out the deep voice and say “Um, alright then”” it will feel fake at first.

But fuck at some point it stops being an act, and that feels fucking bulletproof.

[quousque]

I just saw the most Galaxy Brain gender take ever, from a cis man on reddit

[ID: a screenshot of a comment from reddit, with no username visible. The commend reads: This doesn’t make a ton of sense to me either. Setting aside the question of whether gender/sex is assigned or observed at birth, the gender I was assigned at birth was ‘boy.’ The gender I have now is ‘man’. Boys and men have different gender roles, and few adults identify as boys anymore. From this standpoint, every adult has a different gender than the one they had at birth. End ID]

Framing “girl” and “boy” as separate genders from “woman” and “man” is such an amazing take. it’s a framework that accommodates and explains so many trans experiences. Some trans people never were their AGAB. Some feel like they were their AGAB, but that that changed (usually when puberty hits, which is when you start “becoming a man/woman”. The accepted societal path is that girls grow up to into women, and boys grow up into men. But some girls grow up into men, and some boys grow up into women. This guy was a boy who grew up into a man, which generally works out pretty well for people. Some boys and girls grow up into people who aren’t men or women, even! It’s like this random cis guy skipped right over transgender 101, 102, 201, etc. and stumbled directly into Transgender Nirvana.

[fleshdyke]

tired of people saying “gender is a spectrum, sex is a binary” when they’re trying to explain transness or whatever. sex is also a spectrum

[professional-chaotic-dumbass]

if anyone tries to tell me that sex is binary i’m tattooing the intersex flag on the inside of their eyelids

[fleshdyke]

yeah you get it

[xxd0m1n1quexx]

I recently read an article that explained sex hasn’t been binary for decades and people were just unaware if they weren’t just xx or xy. There’s just no name for the other sex types. It was really eye opening and I wish I remembered the name of it.

[shefoid-deactivated20221227]

queen theres no third gamete therefore theres only two sexes and intersex ppl are all either male or female (the way the conditions present depends on their sex, some even happen only in males or only in females), stop saying bullshit pls

[xxd0m1n1quexx]

It’s not about how many gametes exist. It’s about the combination of them. Sure xx and xy are the most common, but people are born with xxx, or xxy combinations and can cause them to develop both sex organs or none. Biologically they are non-binary because they don’t fall into the two most common sexes but they still exist. Stop trying to spread hate around here. Thanks 😘

[wizardpotions]

people not knowing theyre intersex is actually a massive issue, i didnt find out until i was 18 years old that i have PAIS and only found out when medical records hadnt been properly shared with my doctor and i had severe renal and endocrine issues because surgeries performed on intersex infants are rarely sustainable long term and cause huge issues in adulthood.

also non intersex people please dont call intersex people "biologically non binary" whilst many intersex people identify as non binary we dont really like non intersex people making blanket statements about what they think our biological sex actually is. intersex is a spectrum but at the end of the day what their sex is is entirely up to the individual, some see themselves as biologically non binary but other people also just see themselves as one sex or the other + an intersex condition. and its genuinly just not for you to comment on.

Klinefelter syndrome (XXY)

Pentasomy X

Tetrasomy X

Trisomy X

Turner syndrome (X)

XX male syndrome

XXXXY syndrome

XXXY syndrome

XXYY syndrome

XYY syndrome

XYYY syndrome

XYYYY syndrome

Y chromosome microdeletion

That's at least 13 potential sexes before we get to things like androgen insensitivity syndrome wherein someone with an XY karyotype can appear female.

Wikipedia pages often refer to these as "a man who" or "a woman who"; however, this ties to the current trend of assuming "sex" is the AGAB with a rough list of anatomy attached to each assigned sex, and our utter lack of vocabulary for dealing with sexes other than M or F.

[krakensdottir]

And this is just the chromosomes. Never mind how they intersect with other indicators of sex and those factors don’t always line up neatly on one side or the other. Yeah, sex is not binary.

you ❗cant❗be❗racist❗to❗white people ❗❗❗❗❗

[trispins]

This is a genuine question, so I don't mean to offend. I would just like to get some insight from your perspective.

When I was a young child in elementary school, I lived in a very white-centric rural town in the midwest. Around first or second grade, some government-funded apartments were built right across from the school and were given to a portion of the black community that lived in the poor area of the downtown city roughly an hour away. That in itself isn't an issue, as housing can and should be funded.

However. Over the course of a few months, my school population quickly shifted from dominantly white to dominantly black. I was too young to understand why-- in hindsight it was probably all of the Republican white moms pulling their kids out in response. I was one of the few white kids who stayed. And for multiple years, through grades 2-6, I was incessantly bullied by my black peers, and only my black peers, because I was white. There was no other reason. I was called countless names, some of them specifically white-themed (which I assume they picked up from their parents), and I had to defend myself in physical altercations multiple times. And when I did defend myself, the black principal tried to put me in detention even though I was not the one that threw the first punch.

So this is a genuine question that I'm asking: if this was not racism against a white person, then what was it?

[trispins]

Respectfully, that's not what I said. I'm not talking about the systemic racism that black people face, and I'm not saying that it doesn't exist or that white people face it as well.

What I'm talking about is racism period, as this person is claiming. I'm trying to show that anyone can experience differing levels of racism from any opposing party. What I experienced was racism, and I am a white person. I am not saying that black people don't face racism or that they don't face worse racism as a whole, but to claim that me being bullied for years on end for being white wasn't racism is incredibly invalidating of my traumatic experiences.

There are different types of racism. White people do not face systemic racism, you are correct, as the system is built for and by white people. But they can and do still face some racism in general, as my own experiences are one example.

[thingsifeelicantsayhere]

Hey! White person here, but have studied this extensively. Any POC please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. This is what I’ve been told in the past from POC.

Technically, yes, you’re correct. But it’s also really shitty to phrase it like this.

You did experience prejudice based on your race. At its core, that is racism. But “racism” as a word has grown to mean SYSTEMIC racism. Racism, when you hear the word, is almost always conflated with POC, because they’ve suffered the most blatantly.

It’s best to avoid the word racism as applying to you, because the word has shifted meaning. It’s better to say you’ve experienced prejudice due to your race, or just prejudice in general.

[campyvillain]

soooo fox news are trying to create what’s essentially a hotline for parents to out lgbt educators and lgbt kids in school situations and im not saying that you should flood it with as much cursed images and gay shit as possible to make it impossible for them to receive any actual messages that may threaten peoples livelihoods….but also the email for it is in the linked tweet…. soooooo…. 😚✌️
