#it’s the dykery I know it

[rustinged]

be real what does it say about me that I always thought he was the most masculine growing up

[that-butch-archivist]

I'm not sure if this will take off but I'd love to be indulged. I just read through an old reddit thread where butches talked about what colognes they wore and liked, and got to thinking that it'd be fun to do the same.

The constant battle of injecting lesbianism into Thea Stilton while the books try to push her into every heteronormative experience is such a Herculean-level fight 💀 At this point I’m gonna diagnose her with “I’m not gay” syndrome

make all the blue hair and pronouns jokes you like because it was unequivocally badass when that girl who was arrested last week ripped off her kufiya and mask at our unpermitted, unlawful assembly rally the other day and screamed that she wasn’t afraid of you, you’re the ones that are afraid of her: a 100lb, blue haired, pronoun using queer girl who won’t be intimidated into silence.

For a run of the mill cis woman, I get a lot of comments and questions about my womanhood from kids at my job. I had a boy today at the ropes course say to me "You have a deep voice. You sound like an adventure woman." Which not only is the best thing anyone has ever said to me, it is a great reminder to any trans women out there that are insecure about their voice. Keep in mind that you simply sound like an adventure woman.

i used to have a really Really bad flinch/panic response to the words dyke and fag because of growing up in a deeply homophobic household in backwoods rural new hampshire but now my social circle is so queer and full of general faggotry and dykery that i honestly forget they're slurs. which is the whole point of reclaiming things i guess. the same principle as naming your pet after someone who hurt you so the name stops being associated with the bad thing. it's legitimately hard to remember how sick and anxious i used to get overhearing either term. dyke is a comfort word for protective butches and bitches n fag is a brother to me.

in my (orthodox jewish) primary school we had a mock seder every year around pesach and i remember in year two my teacher asked for some people to volunteer to be the five rabbis. and my (eight year old girl) hand shot up and i was chosen to be rabbi akiva. i was soo happy i made a beard out of cotton balls glued to a card triangle and i got to go to school in my brother's shabbos suit it was awesome 👍👍. and my mum was still surprised when i came out lol

best comparison I can think of for the pope thing is. imagine an ESL bishop said the word “dykery” instead of “lesbianism.”

now. as a dyke, I'm not cool with straight people using it. obviously you don't need to be a native speaker to know slurs, but “dykery” is NOT a commonly used word if you're straight and want to insult queer women. it's the kind of derivative word you're way more likely to hear in a queer context. if a straight person randomly said “dykery” in the middle of a serious conversation, and a non native speaker at that, I'd be like... where on earth did they hear THAT from?

that's why I'm laughing my entire ass off at the pope thing. ofc the catholic church is homophobic. fork found in kitchen. but why is the pope using slang from drag race

daffodil, chia, and camilla! 💐

thank you🖤🖤🖤🖤

daffodil: do you have siblings? if yes, in what ways do you think you’re similar to or different from them?

i have two, a brother who is 4 years younger, and a sister who is 16 years younger. my brother and i didn’t get on as kids cause our parents pitted us against eachother a lot and he was the very clear favourite because they really only wanted a son, but we’re getting better as adults, we’re supposed to go shopping for lumber and upholstery foam later this week so i can build a headboard. we’re very different people aside from being not neurotypical. my sister as so precious to me, she’s technically my step sister but like, i watched her grow up so she’s just my sister to me, i’m supposed to be teaching her how to sew soon which will be fun. we’re more similar i think, she’s really artistic and likes puzzles and figuring stuff out the same way i do.

chia: what’s an inside joke you have with someone else?

i don’t think i have any?? when i was in my first year of highschool (more than a decade ago at this point) one of my friends yelled backflip and then went to jump forward as if she was about to do a front flip (not realising it was the wrong direction) and we call copied that to eachother for ages cause it was peak humour to 12 year olds. that the only inside joke i can remember.

carmilla: what were you like when you were younger? do you think you’ve changed a lot?

i don’t know if baby me would recognise adult me honestly, baby nyx was made to feel very scared, very ugly, and very stupid and tried to hide that by being very reckless and not talking to people more than necessary, which is completely opposite to how confident and capable i feel now. if 8 year old me saw 24 year old me with a half shaved head starting a conversation with a stranger on the bus, or going to uni, or making out with strangers in nightclubs (not that ive don’t this much in the last few years, fucking covid) i think she’d be terrified.

Okay so i like to get in my car and drive to the mall parking lot and sit and do work. I like to do this because the adhd squirrels that eat my brain normally live at home and I'm able to get more work done out of the house. So I sit in my car by this bus stop near the mall

So today this woman approaches the passenger side window and tries to talk to me. And i open the window a crack, I've spoken to her before, she's seems nice. she doesn't communicate very well, which is fine, of course.

So we make small talk, chat about the weather or whatever, and then she gets on the bus

So this time she asked "Where do you live?"

"Oh, I live in [REDACTED]"

"Oh, wonderful... in a house, or...?"

"Yes, my wife and i live in a house, we're very lucky"

Utter confusion. A long pause.

"Your husband?"

"No, my wife."

Another moment of confusion

"How do you do that?"

"...What?"

A look of shock. "Are you a boy?"

Me, not wanting to go into gender 101: "No, I'm not a boy"

"Are you a woman???"

Me, REALLY not wanting to go into gender 101: "W-well, I'm not--I'm not a man, haha!"

"Oh. And you are trying to change that?"

"Uh--well, no," I said, beginning to sweat, "I'm not--I was born not a man and I'm still not a man, haha"

"...Your wife is a man?" she asked, with trepidation

"No," i said, "she's a woman!" I don't mind being very clear on this concept, the very notion of dykery can be shocking to some, i know, and I'm okay being the what is apparently the first gay this woman has ever met

Incredulous look in response. "How do you do that?!"

"How do you do what?" I asked, expecting a question about the legality of gay marriage, or about how I knew i was gay, etc.

she looked me dead in the eye, gestured vaguely, and said

"SEX!"

"WHAT?"

"How do you sex??"

"--I think that's a better question for Google, ma'am," I said desperately

She made a dismissive gesture. "You can tell me."

"N-oooo, I don't want to talk about my sex life, ma'am"

"It's okay, ill tell you if it's not okay"

"No, I really don't want to--"

"Oh! You use plastic man? You just kiss each other or...?"

"Have a great day ma'am" i say and close my window and put my car in reverse and drive away

anyway that was what happened to me just now. What a question. how DO you do sex
