my heart is with the rugged butches, who don’t care to try embodying a dapper persona, baggy t-shirts and Hanes sports bras, basketball shorts and overgrown buzz cuts

my heart is with the trashy femmes, who wear the faux fur leopard print coat they scored at the thrift 4 years ago every day that it’s even remotely cool enough to pull off, the passenger seat of their beat up car filled with empty Red Bull cans and empty packs of newports.

my heart is with the butches who aren’t tough as nails, butches who cry at every sad movie, who love romcoms, who are afraid of a fight. The butches who protect their femmes by building them an armor of love and safety, who stand up for their fellow butches by being a calm force in a raging world. Praise be to their softness, their golden hearts so warm.

my heart is with the angry femmes, tired of being stomped on by men’s expectations of who they should want to spend their time and share their body with , femmes who are tired of being infantilized because they are beautiful and often underestimated. Praise be to the surety in their voices when they tell a man to get the fuck out of their way.

Praise be to the dykes, shaved heads, carabiners, bandannas, leather jackets. Praise be to the dykes, winged eyeliner, bright red dresses, bouncing curls, high-heeled boots, purple lipstick, rings on every finger.

my heart belongs to the femmes and the butches.

Big fan of scary and intimidating femmes turning into big crybabies when they get fucked by their butch! Poor femme getting so strapdrunk they can only reply with the words "Mhm," "more," or "please" because they're too stupid to speak without wailing or whining. They don't trust themselves to form words because they know they'll sound like a dumb, needy mess, and their butch will make fun of them and mock them and call them a stupid girl! The poor femme wouldn't even be able to defend themselves, and they'd have to agree that they are a stupid girl!!

does anyone else love stickers but never use them because you're too afraid to waste them.

if i'm being completely raw and honest, the hardest thing about being a lesbian for me is being a lesbian of color.

no matter how feminine i present i feel like i'm always passed up for a white femme. i'm always expected to be the more dominant person, to make the first move, to figure out everything for dates. and don't get me wrong, i love doing that! but for once i'd love to be a in a relationship where me being a poc doesn't negate my femininity or my role as a femme.

"I'm too scared to ask her out"

Of course you are. Because she's gorgeous and funny and smart, and looking at her makes you feel all nervous inside. 

But you know what? Asking a woman out gets easier when you remember that she is just a human being. She has wants and needs and flaws, like you. She's neither a fairy or a siren, but a human person—like you. 

You're also a person, and not the ugliest or most terrible one alive like you tell yourself to get out of confessing your feelings. You're imperfect, as is everyone else, but you're equally worthy of love and you have a lot of good qualities to bring to a relationship.

And if you take the leap of faith only for her to say no? Well, she's allowed to do that. She has the right to say no to you, or anyone. Maybe she isn't ready for a relationship, or maybe she just doesn't like you that way. It hurts, but it doesn't say anything about your value as a romantic partner. 🤷🏻

Rejection is a normal part of life; Don't let it stop you from living.
