#black butch

[punkeropercyjackson]

Yes,it's super true that:

Black women should be allowed to be as femme as much we want and however we want

We can be indie,pastel,punk,kidcore,classical,scene,goth,gamers and any other style and/or subculture we want that's not inherently rooted in blackness by itself but that we put our spin on to make it connected to our black womanhood and we're awesome for it

This also extends to our personalities.We should be allowed to be bubbly and soft and kiddy and chaotic and unshamedly weird and hopeless romantics and high maintenance without having our blackness doubted since blk women like us have always existed and we always will

It's extremely out of pocket to say we're 'acting white' for it,especially when there's some parts of these that were INVENTED by black women and is real bold coming from cisdudes who do things like calling us fake fans because they think we don't know what any media and need to educated by them so we can reward them by dating them and this all goes quadruple for black trans femmes,be we transmasc or transfem or multigender or nonbinary

But it's ALSO super true that:

Black women are allowed to be butch as much as they want and however they want

They're an extremely important part of not only black history but also wlw history in general and have been one of the most important groups in our community since forever along with blk trans women.They also face significantly worse discrimination than us femmes(No,i'm not making it a competition,i'm saying it as a fact)

Studs/Masc bi bw can be just like us personality ways or the direct opposite or somewhere inbetween and they're all cool as fuck and deserve good things and our love and protection like they give to us.They deserve our full support in cases where they're not cis too that,again,they also give us

Butch black women and femme black women rarely are the ones actually causing this infighting and instead it's nonblacks gossiping and trying to divide us.There is definitely some problems in our community but it's only a small part and we can't let them influence us with their bullshit nor let them keep platforming without calling it out and it's all of our responsibilities to love and protect eachother in a world that hates of regardless of what we're individually like.Remember that in cases like mine where you're not full black we should use our privilege to our advantage to fight against misogynoir towards ALL of us but that monoracial black women have always had it the worst and they've given us everything so we should do the same

best feeling in the world to finally find a really nice black lesbian blog, that is safe for minors, talking about lesbians that includes butches, transmascs, and transfems but mspec lesbians "perpetuate homophobia" and "you're not welcome here. Get the fuck out." Very nice feeling. You guys really weren't kidding when you said that even that coming out to the queer community fucking sucks, that's wild.

im agender and butch but i feel like... because im black i dont have the same access to androgyny and masculinity that other people do. the image of butchness or androgyny i see is always light skinned and fine haired and im just not that. it makes me feel like im never going to be read the way i want to or taken seriously as a gnc person. makes me really uncomfortable to go out

I'm going to answer this and will tell you first up that I'm white. My wife/spouse mod horseshoe is Black and has very similar experiences and feelings. when I saw your ask I right away thought of her and showed her, asked if she wanted to answer. She told me she doesn't know how she can help you when she hasn't figured it out either.

So I will tell you that one, you are not alone. Two, I will answer you similar to how I support her. and three, she is consulting on this ask (as she does on many advice asks, in fact!)

I'm sorry you're going through this, and especially that it's affecting your comfort in going out and being around people.

One thing I have done to try to help is find other darkskin Black folks that are doing gender in similar ways to her, on the internet. Just finding images of people who are similar I hope helps. I'm not particular about what exactly their identities are, just going for style and vibes. Lemme grab some (sorry it's leaning on instagram just bc it's easier for me to search accounts i follow there haha but I swear there are cool black gendery people everywhere, i'm sure you know this)

followers - if this sounds somewhat similar to you please go ahead and say something! or if you have any recommendations also please add them!

you can check out my style tag for like every post I've reblogged/shared that has images of people in it. it’ll have all types of people, but maybe it’ll help. you can also scroll back through my butch tag but that will not include every masc person in it. also the stud tag, and you can consider the stemme identity + label but i don't really have much in that tag rn sorry! maybe try checking the tags for these on tumblr, tiktok, instagram, maybe youtube? maybe you'll find people that look like you, or how you want to look.

my point here is that there ARE people out there doing androgyny, doing gender fun stuff and are Black and darkskin. maybe the people i'm recommending here aren't your vibe or style and that's totally fine, there are a lot of ways to be! i hope these can serve as some sort of inspiration for you. a reminder that gender diversity and androgyny exists and is possible for black people, that there are thriving communities and you have all sorts of options out there for you. also, remember that there are many ways to be androgynous, to be agender. maybe you're more a dapper butch, maybe more a sporty stud, maybe a skate style street style guy, maybe more a crunchy granola hiking outdoorsy look, maybe workwear and denim are more your speed, maybe you're a cozy dude who likes sweats and casual clothes, maybe you like bright colors and patterns, maybe you're into alt and goth styles, maybe you feel more comfortable in vintage and retro stuff. i promise that there is a way for you to look hot and feel comfortable in yourself and people will see your fabulous Black gender noncomforming self.

If you're into podcasts I recommend genderreveal by tuck woodstock- you can skip around and just listen to the episodes that interest you. I'm listening in chronological order because I kinda like going through time and seeing the development of things but you absolutely do not have to. There's a lot of episodes out, they've been doing it for a couple years now! there are plenty of interviews with black people of all gender varieties talking about their experiences and lives

i think. what's hard is that you can’t control how other people see you. you've got to come to terms with this. so you're most likely always going to have people not getting you, not understanding your deal (whether that's gender or something else). there's no foolproof way to get out of it or avoid it, no way to be 100% sure people will always gender you right or treat you right. this is not to say that you will never have people who get you, you certainly will and i wish that for you! i absolutely recommend you surround yourself with people you are supported by and who see you. but i'm not gonna tell you like "fuck what people think, do whatever you want" because i know it's not that easy ! trust your judgement, and trust your gut. all you can do is try to balance finding what makes you feel comfortable and what feels right to you with what feels safe. when you are feeling comfortable, it will help you to become confident. when you are confident and self-assured in who you are, what other people think of you and how they see you will not affect you so much. also, you deserve to be seen and gendered the way you want to be! i'm sorry it feels like it's not possible for you. I believe that it is possible, and i wish it for you soon!!

maybe you want to consider hrt, maybe top surgery, maybe try doing drag or drag makeup. experimentation is a huge thing and i can't recommend it enough. try practicing and experiencing with different styles, gender presentation, clothes, mannerisms, hair makeup jewelry whatever. you can listen to your feelings and your body and reflect on how you like it, see if it feels right. i recommend seeking out the things that make you feel comfortable in your body, find what makes you feel like yourself, and the androgyny and butchness (or whatever presentation you seek) will follow naturally.

wishing you the best in your journey 🧡

okay so I've been questioning my sexuality for such a long time at this point and I've come across mspec lesbians. And, like. Yeah. Maybe I am a lesbian. I'm not going to label anything right now, I still gotta let it brew but yeah. I love that. It means so much to me, you know?

And I just fucking hate TERF's and radfems with a passion. All of this suffering, all of this confusion I've had to go through, and for what?? To keep your precious label as pure as possible?? Grow up. I'm a black, butch, dyke, and maybe a lesbian, who uses neos and he/him and I'm beautiful.

#lesbian #baby butch #black butch #butch dyke #mspec lesbian #mspec lesboy #Another thing #Lesboy. I really like that too. I don't fully know what it means but I like how it sounds #God labels are such a social construct and conforming to these rigid rules about them #Worst decision the community (or I) has ever made #Everyone is fine with genderfuckery until you touch sexuality #Then we have a problem #I just love myself too much to be scared of myself anymore

fat black alternative butch culture is wearing the perfect band tee that shows off your shape and feeling internal unity by the precolonial african notions of gender, your fatness, and alternativeness that are all part of your queerness
