The Divisiveness Between Trans People Is So Fucking Manufactured, Stop Falling For It.

Some people here really treat butchfemme dynamics... weirdly. Especially the butch label.

Butch is queer. Butch is not inherently a "daddy" a "boy", a he/him. Butch is not predatory, always dominant, buff, tough, scary.

It's cool if you identify with any of it, but it seems that many people just take it all as face value. They lack historical knowledge.

Being butch or femme is not inherently sexual or indicative of what your position in bed is/should be. That is a heteronormative idea and if you think so, you really should reevaluate it.

this is SICKENING

So a white woman was recently caught on camera calling a 5 year old the n-word multiple times at a playground, and then used it a few more times when confronted by an adult. She also said if the 5 YEAR OLD CHILD didn't want to be called the n-word "he should not have been acting like one"

Now she's set up a gofundme FOR ONE MILLION DOLLARS to "protect her family" which has been picked up by the right-wing podcast circuit and has attracted the exact kind people you think. Donating amounts like $1488 and calling bipoc "savages" and "animals", straight up reciting the 14 words, and quoting MLK Jr as a backhanded justification.

Remember a time when saying a racial slur even in the past was ground for at the very least social scorn? Now people like this feel emboldened. I feel like it's only going to get worse.

This was on the same day that the Trump administration ended school desegregation in Louisiana

Lastly, as a reminder, we gotta rise above "see there's a Black character!" as a judgment of a piece of media's inclusiveness. Okay, but did they play a role that had interiority or did they just serve as a device for the nonblack main characters and their stories?

I don't believe in giving credit for the bare minimum of "being present" anymore lol. It's okay to have standards, it's okay that everything you like won't reach them, but you don't have to lower your standards for good Black characters to "just having them"!

Just wanted y'all to have that last paragraph from my review as its own post 👍🏾

Oh to be called boy in a lesbian way. Handsome in a butch sort of manner. A dyke type of boyfriend. A lesbian guy. Dude. Husband. Please

i just genuinely don’t understand how you can call yourself a femme and not love butches. there is no femme if there is no butch !!

i dont know who needs to hear this but there can be a nonbinary lesbian. not-man likes not-men. stop thinking so hard about it

i want to take care of a butch lover so much. i want to kiss their arms when they're sore or tired and hold their hands in mine circling heart shapes on their palms. i want to hug their neck and hold their head safe and close to my chest to tuck them away from the noise of their day. i want to gently caress their nape and neck, calling them "darling" and "adored", listening to their worries and whispering back the most softest words. having them sleep on my body, while i keep the warmth of the blanket in check to cover them fully. make them something sweet as they prefer, smooch their lips the moment they're asking what i'm making for them. filling them with "i love you"s at the most random moments and finding incredibly aching to be departing from their closeness even for a moment. because i adore them so deeply. because i constantly want to remind them that they're everything to me.

I need a butch4butch or masc4masc cowboy movie or 12 part series pls I’m feigning for it.

god gives the toughest battles (having a period) to the strongest soldiers (butches)
