Amiyesiam..Thank u so much for this statement,for years its been a lot hard to mesh all of me into who I now am,the journey over the years has been full of pot holes and mistakes as I have gone from a hard core gruff baby butch to a lot more mello person over the years,some things were done cause I thought thats what butches did or was expected from femmes,now im am just plane old me how ever that is.

Never really thought of those channels that way ......vaginavision.....this should be interesting next time I wonder what subject 'touched by an angel' tackles....or 'golden girls' :winky: :groucho:

If I had a quarter for every time I put up with stares and "butcher-than-thou" gripes, I'd be a fuckin' millionaire...

My high school girlfriend tried teaching me cross-stitch, and crochet...I would literally doze off....but then, she returned the favor by staring off in space when I tried teaching her Chess.....
I don't "cop" to stereotypes, if I like something, I'll do it, try it out, or stick with it...I very rarely do something, or wear something cuz it's "Expected" of me...
Don't get me wrong, I don't wear pastels, flowers or summer dresses -cringe-....But, I don't because that's not comfortable, in the slightest bit for me...Not because I'm stone butch and somewhere in b-f Canon it's etched in "Stone"{no pun} "Thou shalt always wear boxer-briefs, and pleated trousers!!"

I read in an article..there was a Drag King contest, one boi was watching a buncha giggling girls, one of 'em signed up, hy groaned saying "there goes the neighborhood", the girl got decked out, head to toes, looked like a Chicano drag king, pose and all, her friends squealed and she giggled, the boi shook hys head, and when she took to the Stage she actually won, and strutted off...When she got to the gathered crowd of friends, she hopped around squawking, very proud, the boi shook his head, clicking hys tongue & adjusting hys soft pack apparently, the author said "Eventually, hy'll understand"...

♦ I'm almost always entertained by bubbles...If I see one, I'll try to pop it after enjoying the visual...

♦ I lurv Butterflies {and some Moths}, in Old San Juan city there's a store/restaurant called "The Butterfly People", I would go there a lot, sometimes alone, sometimes with company..Most of their walls are covered with a wide variety of Butterflies...

♦ I also luv Angelic Art

♦ Most of my snail mail Will have stickers that reflect the Occasion or the Mood...Sometimes both...And my closest friends know better than to carelessly rip the envelope open...their floor will be covered with confetti of different designs...

♦ I'll spend most of my weekend mornings watching old favorite kiddie cartoons in my PJ's with cereal..{Flintstones, jetsons, Pink Panther, Garfield, Rocko's Modern Life, etc..} Unless I hafta run errands.

♦ While my style of clothing is a small reflection of who I am and how I portray myself, it's not the be-all-end-all...
I'll happily wear fleece pj bottoms with cupcakes -shrug-...

♦ I've had very long hair in the past....I only cut it cuz it's much easier to deal with, and comfortable...Sometimes...~glares @ bangs~

♦ I did try my damnedest not to cry during Hachiko A dog Story.....I did sniffle during Philadelphia....and I was a quiet mess during Schindler's List....


:boxers::boxers:

Hello! I am femme and...

I like to sit with my legs wide open
I am most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt
I rarely wear make up
my nails are short and natural
I enjoy being the fucker (cock and all)
I haven't worn a dress in years
I know how to check my oil (but not change it)!
I prefer horror/gore over chick flicks
I HATE decorating things (apartment, bedroom, whatever)
I can get ready in half an hour
my hair is 90% of the time up in a pigtail
I say fuck a whole lot
I prefer wearing my "kicks" from KMART than I do my heels
I will kick someone in the face for fucking with my family/friends

*curtsy*

I like sledgehammers.
Violent video games make me randy.

And I recently found Goof's DVD collection of "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch"

I like this thread, and it IS empowering to see how many of you don't feed into those pesky binary gender stereotypes.

That is the whole point, no? How ridiculous it is that a woman who changes oil isn't Femme? Or how a Butch who maybe likes doors held open for her/hym is somehow less Butch?

We are all human beings.

New And Improved Post
 

I don't like dolphin shaped dildos.

K, for starters..
as a Butch...I am not 'just like men', I may be masculine, I may be emotionally TG, but physically I'm a womyn, true...
I don't act like a man, or what society deems is a mans behavior or mannerisms....
If a butch wore a long skirt, with pink blouse & heels, within the butch/femme community there are those who'd find it highly strange of That butch due to the common perception of a Butchs appearance and rejection of the typically feminine attire in favor of much more comfortable Gender neutral and / or masculine attire, nevermind the Reason why said individual wears it {it could be a mandatory uniform, they could be in the Closet, it could even be a cultural issue}...My mother's boyfriend{bio-male} once educated me {shock!!!} when I was 16...there's a difference between man, male, masculine...and woman, female, feminine....
One can be masculine w/o being physically a Man....And feminine w/o being a woman physically {MtF}, male and female are society binary to validate ones absolute Sex, not Gender.
When an individual is Intersex, that theory goes right out the window and makes a few people nervous, since they have no fuckin clue which Box to shove that individual in, oftentimes it won't matter either way, that person will choose for themself.
That stayed in my mind for some time...And every now and then I'll be reminded of it after a comment, remark, or snub...

{♦ Lovin the Femmes list here, almost as much as the Butches....}

Oh for fuck's sake. Can you just, for once, let it be about something other then your own agenda? If you're itching for a fight, go back to the war thread and respond to my post from last night.

Um Gayla, I am a lesbian so I am supposed to like dolphins. I thought I was breaking a stereotype. It was supposed to be funny.

Your silencing and dismissive attitudes towards any thread/post that doesn't specifically address your issues in the manner you want them addressed, stopped being funny to me a really long time ago. The saddest part is that somewhere in the back of my mind I've kind of been just waiting for you to show up and tell us all were doing it wrong. Again.

Done.

I thought it was fucking hilarious


I Actually LOL-ed,
Dylan...rarely LOLs

LOL, yep Dylan laughed first. I have a time stamp to prove it!

AtLast a butch is supposed to like a "realistic" cock. A lesbian is supposed to like a dolphin dildo. What's a poor lesbian butch to do? :rofl:

Dunno..... all this stuff to remember..... been such a long time since I shopped for a new one.... :( :poc-huh:

ROTF... I'd say a good compromise... Oh, no.... ya' think there will be more pics posted???

Deep ridges and a nice lavender bag- perfect!

I really don't want to see this die.

~ I like to scrapbook.

~ I drive a minivan and love it.

~ I have "lunch with the girls" at least once a month.

These are kewl! Arn't we a krazy bunch!?

Is that a shiny Unicorn Horn?

might as well out myself, too ... Atlast did ... lol:

• I learned to change the oil in my car, did it once, never did it again (we can't say why? aww, ok)
• I can do some home repair, or minor construction, like sheetrock, electrical, finish carpentry, and, especially, tile. Don't ask me about plumbing ... too many pieces ... all I remember is that gas goes up and s#$t goes down ...
• ahem, i LOVE to cook and friends love to come over to eat. I also love good wines and culinary toys.
• I like to shop, am fussy about my clothes. Well, AtLast, I like boxers and find them comfy, but there are certain pants that I wear that I have to wear women's briefs. Sigh. I don't care for tighty whiteys ... except for using as a cock harness ...
• I love to pack ...
• about twice a year, I have my eyebrows waxed (now that's a hard NOT to explain ... geesh, such restrictions!)
• I like to shop sometimes with a femme and get opinionated about her clothes.
• I do sacred space design on request, and love to get into yards of fabric, suspended (no comment about suspension play, please :rofl:) and draped. I laugh at myself when doing this while waving my arms about like Robert Preston (?), who portrayed a drag queen, in Victor Victoria
• I wear either women's "comfortable shoes" or men's shoes, which ever looks or fits my feet best
  • I am bi-dancial (dancual?) ... now, don't start a rumor, I am NOT bi (and, no, I don't have an issue with those who identify as such - it is just not who I am ...) in some dance genres ... it's what happens when you teach ... but am best as a lead. Sometimes when I am goofing around and following, I flap my arms around and look ridiculous as a parody of a queen.
  • I learned from watching an ex, and love to select and arrange flowers. I like to plant bulbs and other bits of things that grow in the yard.

don't have a clue why the last bit came under the shoe comment, < shrugs > but there you have it for now.

I don't wear pink
I don't wear stilettos
I don't wear glitter
I don't wear lipstick
I don't do burlesque
And I won't ever wear a sparkly cock.

I love to have my nails done. But, I don't because I love to garden more.

I love beautiful dresses. But, I don't wear dresses that often because it isn't practical.

I have repaired many things myself (toilets, garbage disposals, door knobs, flat tires) and would rather do it than call a repair person.

I do not like pink (unless it is hot pink and paired with black)!!

When I was a kid, I liked to play with Tonka trucks more than Barbies because I could dig holes in the dirt with them (In my world, Barbie slept with Summer and not Ken).

I LOVE the smell of Auto Repair shops and gun oil...And if a butch smells like an Auto Repair shop or gun oil, it drives... me... CRAZY!:drool:

I enjoy hunting and fishing and don't mind baiting my own hook with live bait or cleaning the fish.

Lumberjack drag queen femme
 

- I cannot abide pink, sparkly, froofy, frothy, girly anything, and hello kitty should give it up and say good bye. (of course I am speaking from my me place(I live in fear of the kittyites))

-I hate to shop

-I really enjoy working on my car and can do my own breaks and rotors, change my own oil, replace my own starter, I own a timing gun so I can do my own tune ups. The problem is that with the newer cars the computers are a racket designed to make you go to a mechanic, grumble grumble grumble

-I love math and do it in my head to help calm me down if I am tense

-I am rational and logical

-I love being out in the woods alone with my dog (bring on the bugs, dirt and snakes)

-I really like reptiles and have had several for pets not to mention I encourage the wonton breeding of the lizards that live on my porch by setting out trays of mealworms and playing Barry White on the stereo

-I am fascinated by bugs (it's their specialty that gets me) and have a collection of them under glass in a frame in my room.

-I strap and have on packed in public in a skirt none the less :eyebrow:

Airsupply... Oh no you din't. :jester::bigcry:

That's awesome!!! & you know what I would do it in stilletos. You Rock!!!

After reading most of the posts...I really don't think there is a sterotype here. We all are "outside the box". I as a "femme" do wear my jeans, t's & ballcaps because they are comfortable. However I do wear my lace bras & undies under because I love the feel & love being a woman. I admire, fantasize, drool over a striking Butch, but will also, but don't want to do her, give props to a good looking, well put together femme. :rrose: I wear, proudly, my stilletos because I can & actually can walk, dance &...well nevermind, that's getting off the subject. We are who we are, we are comfortable in what we wear & do...That's all that matters. I don't think it should come down to "you are butch...go change the oil" or "your the femme...why aren't you in making dinner". All we can hope for is to be happy with ourselves & find someone who complements us, as we do them, in that way.

:waitinggirl:

Stonefemme lesbian here.

I own and repair all seven motorcycles in my backyard.

I ride said motorcycles like an exuberant, half-mad barbarian.

I love to ride said motorcycles on the racetrack. I especially love passing the boy-racer wanna-be's who think girls can't ride.

My hair is long, but mostly styled by my helmet.

I dress in high fetish or vintage high fashion when it suits the occasion, but you're far more likely to find me in jeans and engineer boots with dirt and oil under my fingernails. (It's not as awful as it sounds for my playmates because I'm a stonefemme. Anyway, I clean up well.)

I have worked as a Union carpenter/stagehand. Now I work as a sculptor which means my work clothes are so encrusted with gak that a homeless person would not even touch them.

I have spent a small fortune on my power tools.

I do all home repair except plumbing. EEEEEWWWWWW!

I catch and kill bugs and rodents

I love to camp.

I am a lesbian who does not like dolphin shaped dildos, but I will drop to my knees in a heartbeat for the right butch cock.
