Full fucking offense, but not everyone who uses butch and/or femme is a lesbian!! Not everyone who’s sapphic is a lesbian!! Not everyone who’s queer and/or LGBTQ and/or GNC is a lesbian!! Not everyone who’s butch is some skinny white AFAB person with abs who’s just barely ~masculine enough~ to still fit your stereotypes!! Two (or more) people who look like women being in a relationship doesn’t mean they’re lesbians!! Not everyone who’s GNC fits into some neat little box of ‘slightly masculine’ or ‘cottagecore feminine’!! People can be multiple genders (even ‘opposing’ binary genders) and still be butch or femme!! People can be trans men and femme, and trans women and butch!! Not everyone who’s butch or femme is even sapphic, because they’re supposed to be inclusive labels!!
I appreciate that there are so many tumblr lesbians who are GNC, but for the love of God, it’s not just yours
reminder that mspec lesbians and male lesbians and he/him lesbians and trans(masc/neu/fem) lesbians have existed for decades and are fucking amazing lesbians that deserve space in the lesbian community
being butch isn't a bad thing. being butch isn't something to change or fix. butch is just a state of being, for many people: for women, men, nonbinary, genderqueer, genderfluid, multigender, intersex and other gender people. gays, lesbians, bisexuals, pansexuals, asexuals, aromantics, queers- no matter who you are, being butch is a beautiful thing

I think that a lot of TRA anger emerges from the fact that the groups they larp are actual people with lived realities and not just an idea in their head that they can cosplay at will.
Women are real, lesbians are real, gay men are real. They're not some fun cool subculture that you might find on 4chan or reddit or in anime, they're flesh and blood people.
And I think that's what pisses TRAs off the most. Because no matter how much money they spend on surgeries with high complication rates or on synthetic hormones, trying to become a pale imitation of these groups, there are real people out there experiencing a lived reality that they will never be a part of.
When I was younger I thought I wanted to be That Girl with long dark hair, bold red lips, and lashes for days who wore all black and could do anything in a killer pair of heels, but actually it turns out that I just really, really wanna kiss women like that
the dragonets of prophecy!!! this is a redraw from earlier this year during pride month!
