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.

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!
