So I’ve read up a lot on butch/femme dynamics and identities, but I have yet to find a clear reason to why, apart from my butchfancies I should label myself a femme.
I know who I am as a person. I'm bookish and kind of nerdy. I like some girly things like dresses and baking and adorable things as well as using the word adorable (a lot). But I also like traditionally masculine things, like camping and fishing. I prefer blue to pink, I prefer barefoot to heels.
There isn’t anything especially about me that would stand out as femme or feminine, I look like your average 23 soon to be 24 year old.
I think the reason I identify as femme is simply because it sits right with me. When I heard the word and found out about it all, something just felt right.
I read somewhere, although I don’t remember quite where, that femme is finding a way to be a girl that doesn’t hurt. Something about that really gets me.
