Shoutout to femmes:

With deep raspy voices

Who don’t always dress in high femme clothing

Who like to fix and tinker with things

Who have muscles and like to flex them (🙋🏽‍♀️)

Fat femmes

POC femmes, especially black femmes (and black mascs, butches and studs yall dont get enough love)

Trans femmes

He/him femmes

Loud femmes, femmes who aren’t afriad to have their voice heard

And finally, shoutout to the femmes who arent always traditionally feminine 🫶🏽 Being femmes comes in all different shapes, races, ethnicities, nationalities, aesthetics, sizes and personalities

Does anybody else love being guided?

I love being told what my domme wants me to do, where to touch, how to touch, everything

It’s one of my favorite bedroom activities 😋

[lilslilword]

I know it’s already been said, but I’m craving more black love movies, specifically black lesbians in love. Specifically two fully black lesbians and the movie centering their love instead of their trauma. Extra points if it’s stud for stud or a stem for stud relationship.

Fish Flag

Original Flag, Inspiration, and Palette by @estrogenism (Thank you for the permission to edit this flag!)

What does Fish mean?

Fish is a black exclusive term for a femme lesbian. This label was first recorded as a counterpart the label 'Stud' in a Masters of Arts thesis titled, 'A Study of a Public Lesbian Community' by Ethel Sawyer. Black masculinity is to Stud as Black femininity is to Fish.

The Flag: Symbols and Colors

School of Black Fish: In the original flag I found on my dash, estrogenism uses an image of a tropical fish to represent the body diversity among black femmes. I decided to go with a school of fish to represent the community among black femmes. Initially, I wanted the school to look like a crescent moon to represent femininity further, but I wasn't fuckin' with it.

Colors:

The darkest purple: Womanism (a feminist school of thought centered around the black experience)

2nd darkest purple: Black sapphicism

2nd lightest purple: Black sapphic history

Lightest purple: Unity between all fish (trans, cis, intersex, aspec, arospec etc)

Lightest pink: Subversion of femininity

2nd Lightest Pink: Vulnerability (????)

Orangey-Pink: Persistence

Red: Love

A Public Study of a Lesbian Community by Ethel Sawyer (This study was done by a heterosexual woman. Due to the time it is from, harmful stereotypes of both studs and fish are portrayed in this thesis. These misconceptions are incredibly dated.)

Note: Based on the reading that I have done (Including the original thesis itself), some bisexual women were involved in the lesbian bar culture and identified with the label Fish. Out of the 7 fish interviewed by Sawyer, 2 out of 7 (28%) enjoyed sex with men. That being said I don’t mind or care if black bisexual femmes use this flag. But please understand the difference between presenting femininely and femme culture within the sapphic context (specifically butchfemme/studfemme/stud-fish community) before using this label.

THIS IS THE FIRST FLAG I MADE SO PLEASEEEE BE KIND
