So ive had this saved in my drafts for a while now- but theres a point id like to make about butch/femme identity and expression and think this is ready despite the crap i might catch for it
On my days off and when i go out for fun, lots of times i look like this vvv
Tumblr media
And other times, especially because im a blue collar dyke, i look like this vvv
Tumblr media
The thing that both these photos have in common is that, regardless of how i may appear, i am a femme lesbian. I am not magically butch at work just because i have to wear jeans and work boots for safety. On the clock I am often mistaken for a man and harassed for using the women’s bathroom, people call me sir and damn near keel over trying to correct themselves. I understand that people will look at me as masculine because im in a mans trade.
And yet im still a femme!
You know why? Because being femme is not about how i dress or how long my hair is or the job i work or the body im in, but who i am, how i love, and how i want to be loved back. Its my reclamation of my gender and sexuality and romantic life.
Theres this idea that femme lesbians are “the girl” lesbians and butches are “the boy” lesbians. Femmes are stereotyped as straight passing hyper feminine (and often times cis) girls. But if youve ever met a femme thats not always (in my experience- USUALLY) the case. We often are nonbinary (hi! Also me!) and/or gender nonconforming even in our femininity- taking the things that cishet society hates the most in women (ie body hair/body fat/masculine jobs/deep booming voices- etc) and owning those characteristics in ways that make us feel free and most like femmes 💕
I personally feel most comfortable being feminine off the clock and covering myself in glitter and being a tacky fat furry muppet because its how i feel best recognized by the butches i adore so much! But i get to reclaim womanhood or whatever adjacent, gender-fucked, lesbiany, thing ive got going on, and that doesn’t change when i wear jeans and work boots.
Femmes get to be whatever the hell we want- being broad shouldered and deep voiced and fat and furry and in a trade are not traits that magically make me incapable of being femme- and im over this whole ordeal where y’all assign butches and femmes as either “the boy” or “the girl” of the relationship and expect us to be exclusively feminine or masculine and never cross or mix- just recreating useless gender roles that we have zero reason to uphold.
(And this goes the absolute same for butches/studs who express feminine traits and DOUBLE for trans butches/studs/femmes)

once again i am drawing my 20-something t4t butch4femme friends to lovers ineffable spouses AU !!! <33 i miss going 2 clubs and am excited to get back 2 it when i go off for grad school (along with, uh, studying) so i wanted these two to also have a fun night out :D 
crowley is transfem, genderfluid, and a gnc femme (she/they)
aziraphale is transmasc, agender, and butch (they/he) 
basic premise of the AU is they’ve been friends since freshman year of undergrad, got closer as they bonded over trans stuff, then became inseperable besties and now are ~figuring out the world~ together post-graduation. the romantic and sexual tension is intense but it’s fine bc it’s aziraphale and crowley so ofc they’re endgame, but it’s still fun to torture them a bit in the meantime <3

I’ve seen so many posts on here lately with people referring to their partner as “my butch” and my heart is literally fluttering from the mere thought of being referred to like that one day.

you can be masculine and feminine at the same time. being masculine doesn't make you any less feminine. being feminine doesn't make you any less masculine. there is no inherent morality to any masculinity or femininity you express. you create the meaning behind it by expressing yourself - your joy, your queerness, your health. you are not a reflection of other people's harmful ideas about gender. that's their burden to carry, not yours.

"Being nonbinary dosen't inherently mean being trans"I will murder you with my bare fucking hands if you don't stop spreading misinfo like this.The white stripe on the trans flag is literally there to represent nonbinary people.'Transgender' dosen't mean just 'binary trans man or binary trans woman',it means 'not cis' fullstop.Y'all are one of the reason's transneutrals feel so alianted from their own community and i'm not gonna stand for it cause you consider yourself a trans people expert when you know nothing about us and propably get offended at neopronouns and 'weird' genders because,again,you know nothing about us
Edit:If you're going to reblog this,please reblog it with @/defiantlydelta's addition's,ve corrected me on a mistake i made on this!!

The "nature versus nurture" debate has meaning for each of us here because we are constantly being asked in life: Why are you the way you are? When did you first know you were different? Do you think that while you were in the womb your tiny fist inadvertently clenched an essential gene too hard? Or was your mother domineering?
And my answer is: Who cares! As long as my right to explore the full measure of my own potential is being trampled by discriminatory laws, as long as I am being socially and economically marginalized, as long as I am being scapegoated for the crimes committed by this economic system, my right to exist needs no explanation or justification of any kind.
