for the boys who are girlfriends and the girls that are boyfriends

[theantichristpluviophile]

Growing up with a gender non conforming mother literally saved me. She never wore makeup, she rarely shaved, she had short hair, she always put comfort first when choosing clothes, she never cared for skincare or anti-aging products in fact she’s proud of her wrinkles, she was a ‘these are signs of a fulfilling life’ mother not a retinol at 15 mother, she was a ‘eat whatever you want’ mother not a ‘are you gonna eat all that?’ mother, she was openly against plastic surgery, she stood up for her beliefs, she never let men talk down to her or belittle her, she was always down for a debate etc.

It didn't dawn on me until I got older that this wasn't 'normal'. That not everyone’s mother was like that. I rarely felt pressure to conform to patriarchal gender stereotypes because I didn’t grow up with one as a role model. In fact the only times I started to feel as though I should conform to ‘femininity’ was when I started integrating more into wider society and less in the comfort of my home. (Social media, friendships etc)

When I was a kid, I took it for granted, but now I see how blessed I was to be raised by a mother like that, and I see how much my friends and women online are struggling to accept themselves in totality, in their natural and unapologetic form. Since I was born, I thought it was totally normal for women to be like that … because it should be.

HEY! Hey. hey. hey..

If you’re an mlm shipper. Listen to this…

It is blatantly homophobic. To always make. One of them. The twink. And one. The bear. It is homophobic. To always make. One of them. Feminine and sub. And one masc and top. Quit doing that. It’s. Just. Homophobic. To always want one to be the ‘woman’, and another to be the ‘man’.

Yk how most gays hate being asked “who wears the pants in the relationship?” Yeah? Think about it. That’s exactly what you’re doing. This goes out to many different communities. And also applies to wlw/gnc relationships.

Will Graham is not as feminine as fics and Art like to make him seem. Neither is Castiel. Or James Wilson.

There doesn’t always have to be a ‘man’ and a ‘woman’ in queer relationships. That’s the whole fucking point. RB if you agree because I am so mad rn.

An edit to the original post : please check out all additions and reblogs. I have made multiple edits and adjustments through rbs after receiving feedback on this post :))

Another insert : key word is always. We see it less recently, but it’s still prevalent and still a harmful stereotype to push queer relationships into.

Third and hopefully final addition : please don’t explain your kinks to me. I’m a minor.

Reminder to everyone that Non-binary lesbians exist and that they are just as valid in their lesbian identity as people that identify as women.

If you believe that the inclusion of Non-binary lesbians is misogynistic and/or invalidating to women you can go argue with the wall.

Gender non conformity has always and will always be part of the lesbian (and queer) experience. If you feel like women are being devalued by the inclusion of GNC and NB people under the lesbian identity you need to do some serious introspection.

Non-binary lesbians are lesbians, transmasc (as in person that wants to align more with masculinity) lesbians are lesbians, GNC lesbians are lesbians.

And I'm talking about ALL non-binary people. Recently I had someone say that only female aligned non-binary people are allowed to call themselves lesbians and that's just fucked.

Gender is a social cunstruct. Lesbians are lesbians. Please keep your bigoted beliefs out of my Lesbianism, thanks.

How to get a radfem gf who lives close to you no glue no borax

[thesunflowerdyke]

I know that the majority of the posts on this blog have a sexual connotation to them, but ultimately the thing I’m yearning for most is connection.

Of course I’d love to find somebody who’s into all the same fun kinky stuff as I am! But what I truly want more than anything is somebody who understands me. Somebody who wants to learn me. Physically, sure, but also emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

I want somebody who won’t just be a lover, but also a friend, a confidant, and a partner.

disabled butches who aren't physically strong, who need help from caretakers, who use mobility aids, wear medical braces, etc... you're wonderful butches just as you are, and don't need to prove yourself to anyone

being butch really isn't a choice for most of us (if any). it's not something that you like, wake up one day and decide yea, i wanna be a cool tough dyke or that you wanna be fit and rugged or something. we're just kinda born a little different. we're just Like That. other people tend to notice way before we do, and by the time we do, we have a lot of work in undoing society's hatred of masculine women & queer people. we were the he-she, the it, the thing, the That, the "not a real girl" but "not a boy" either, the "what is that?", the "ma'am? sir? i can't tell." not a woman, not a man, just a sight to behold, a question poised waiting at the tip of a tongue.

all of these things are something to be proud of, but we have to fight for that pride. when you see a tough butch who struggles to get close to people and acts tough to protect themself, just know that it's because being butch is a hard life. it's like having a target on your back that you can never remove. we aren't tough because we want to look cool, be suave, or seduce women. we walk a dangerous place in life. we have to protect ourselves first and foremost. this is the source of butch toughness. we're gender outlaws.
