I remember my first girlfriend and i still didn't know about femmes. I remember apologizing to her about being girly. I told her if she would help me try and be more butch i would try. Thinking i was a disappointment to her.
She laughed and told me i was just perfect the way i was. I was so naive. She went on to tell me there are gay women like me, i wasn't by myself. I felt relieved, not sure i believed her though lol.
Had no clue about the butch/femme dynamic.
Femme is how i was born and i am so glad i never had to change. I am so thankful there are others like me.
Belonging somewhere feels beautiful!!!
