#adult tomboy

[blessedscavengers]

happy butch appreciation day to all my fellow butches!

when I was teaching an art class I had one of the kids I was teaching come up to me and ask if I was an adult tomboy and then proceeded to tell me about her friend who is also a tomboy and I thought that was quite possible the cutest thing a kid ever said to me and also describes my gender pretty well since kids don’t tend to know about butch as an identity

The OG he/him lesbian. Or transmasc. Or yet-to-crack transfem- There can be a lot of interpretations, you just gotta look into my brain and accept it

idk since i made that post earlier i've just been thinking about all the ways adults were weird and shitty to me because i was gender-nonconforming as a kid. because i MIGHT grow up to be a lesbian or, worse, transgender. and how much it sucked to figure out my identity under those conditions -- where every adult i'd ever met had already figured out What I Was and hated me for it, and i had no idea. idk it's just sad. i'm sorry baby izzy went through that.

Attempting to wear more feminine clothing like skirts and dresses and acknowledging it's cute while feeling entirely not myself is so confusing. I want to branch out and try new things yet still present myself and identity in a way that still makes me feel like..me.

Hm, not a fan of these shows with main female characters who are supposed to be geniuses but the shows are all comedic. Like these women are never shown as serious/regular people, they have to be funny, borderline ridiculous/over the top.

I get that it might make them more... palatable for the general audience but it sucks. And you wonder why I have very few favorite female characters. The ones I really like are nothing like that.

No matter what Ranma 1/2 chapter, episode, movie or panel says to me, Akane will NEVER END UP BEING A STAY AT HOME WIFE or a TRADITIONAL HOUSEWIFE. It's so out of character for her to become a KASUMI - COPY by the end of the story and I refuse to accept this even as a possibility. Akane wants to have an active role on her family's dojo, she wants to keep training martial arts and TEACH OTHERS in the process. Any ending with her becoming nothing more than "Ranma's / Ryoga's housewife" can be classified as a BAD ENDING for Akane's character. In this essay I will ━━

actually im not done.. someone holding your head in place while they shave it. being hesitant because its a big change, or you think you'll look "too masculine" or whatever other reason, but the person doing it just keeps going and saying it'll be okay, you'll look great. not letting you look away or turn your head. them running their hands over the buzzcut to feel the texture. if you left a little hair left they'd spike it up and say it looked sick as fuck.

something really good about having your appearance changed to suit someone else's view of what you and your gender are.

I really hope that, as I start presenting more masc and being more obviously genderqueer, I am to someone what that cool butch at day camp was to me all those years ago.

A sign that YEAH- you can do that, if you want. You can be masculine if you want, yes eve if you’re a woman, even if the world reads you as a woman. And not only can you do it, it looks COOL and you should, if you want.

I want to be someone else’s Nancy. That grown up who tells a young tomboy who’s constantly being put down for her gender presentation that yeah. Adults do this, too. And you CAN be whatever you want.

ppl who think galo was like a teachers pet kinda kid as a child are wrong and i know this bcuz this autistic guy screams Bad Kid i can recognize it instantly. i KNOW he was an angry traumatized autistic kid and i know he had to switch schools cuz he got expelled at least once

honestly i think i feel more comfortable w things like "miss" and other generally more childish ways to talk about. female people? i dunno how to de-age it. anyway what i mean is that gendered expectations & gendered everything vary quite a lot depending on people's ages, and especially (assuming no abuse is going on) there can be kind of a "free pass" for non-conformity when you're a kid, just like there can be a free pass for all sorts of polite social manners until you're too old to like, play in the mud.

if you call me miss, you're playing along, you're being jokingly overly polite to a little kid who is clearly not old enough to need an honorific before their name. it's like you're calling me a teen or an adult. if you call me ma'am you're seeing a woman. you're acknowledging what you see. the primary point has shifted from age to gender. and i don't know if i'm really comfortable being perceived as very much solidly a woman.

My last post inspired by me ringing my GP surgery and the receptionist says there is a note to do my referral to the gender clinic I requested, but it hasn't been done yet...there's only one person who does them and she does a 4 day week and there's a big backlog!

tried a new hairdo and a new way to apply eyeliner and now i look like another person and it's so pretty i can't even believe it's me 😭

[tauruswiftie]

gonna be fr i don’t think “traditionally/stereotypically feminine” interests should be dunked on at all but also this is exactly the kind of thing that makes me feel insecure about ever having daughters (as someone who wants kids in the next ~6 years). idk why there is this expectation that if you don’t wear makeup/heels/nail polish/do skincare/etc you’re misogynistic and can’t bond with your daughters lol
