Femme and butch aren't your replacement quirky words to say 'effeminate' and 'masculine' stop throwing these words around to describe non queer people geez, there's a culture that belongs to these terms, Taylor Swift isn't 'femme' or 'butch' and she most certainly is not 'a dyke'. When you get so careless about using those words, and often in a fully serious way, about non-queer people, they also get just as comfortable appropriating our words and jokingly throwing slurs back at us. Read the room once in a while

#think about how many non queer people are insultingly using words like twink already #they want to keep making jokes at our expense and use insulting words but they know they can't use slurs anymore w/o backlash #and this way you're delivering those slurs right back into their hands #and ts fans will find a way somehow to justify all of that #'no no we are different we don't talk that way but also btw this isn't so bad to say this like there's a reason they're saying that'#'no no I don't at all believe ts is butch!! i think she's femme actually' no tf she isn't #chill out you don't have to use these words to feel special about your mainstream pop consumption
