Gender Troubles: The Butches

Gender Troubles: The Butches

justice for kabru. they put my man in the wrong genre. bro was meant to be playing psychological games with light yagami and instead he’s playing yaoi mind tennis with a blonde himbo

reminder that trans men also fought for your rights and refusal to acknowledge this is tantamount to denying historical fact

Doom Armour is toooo Op. Epic nerf that shit now

I think it’s important for femme’s to remember that you don’t need to be hairless, wear a bunch of pinks or dresses all the time to be considered femme.

You don’t need to look a certain way. You don’t need to weigh a certain number. Or do your makeup every single day or even at all. You don’t need to have long hair or perfect skin.

You don’t need to follow a bunch of rules on how to look to be considered femme. It’s so much more than your appearance.

Please, read

I found out there's a subreddit called r/conversiondykes and it's basically hell on earth, there's a petition to ban it (I'm gonna leave it below and quote some part about it)

This subreddit exists under the guise of a "kink," but the ideas and content presented within it are inseparable from perpetuating a cycle of homophobic oppression. It's not "just a kink" when it involves the degradation and hyper-fetishization of the identity of a marginalized minority. Reddit is a public site, and this subreddit is extremely easy to find and is growing every day - the existence of such a place is unacceptable. The existence of an entire subreddit dedicated solely to promoting lesbophobic ideas in a sexualized context is putting our community at risk. It plays into the fetishization of the oppression of a very small and vulnerable group, and much of the content posted here relies on the dehumanization and degradation of our IDENTITY – something that is intrinsic to us and makes us who we are as people. This has a significant impact on how others perceive and view our sexuality. This isn't a fetish about sexualizing certain activities or situations, universal to all people – it is the dangerous sexualization of lesbophobic ideas, which is especially harmful in a world where homophobia is still deeply entrenched. A kink is only a kink when it involves consenting parties and affects only them. The dehumanization and degradation of the sexuality of a marginalized minority is neither safe nor consensual. It's also worth noting that much of the content posted here is simply blatant and open homophobia – no longer even disguised).

Ban r/dykeconversion

There are dozens of such fake-sounding posts on this sub that seem to draw sick "inspirations" from various queer women's experiences; the way they are described and the level of obvious ignorance or really pathetic fetishization of the narrative clearly indicates that the authors of these "confessions" are largely horny men. The manner of writing also indicates that the author is a guy - anyone who has had any contact with nsfw online spaces where no verification is needed knows how extensive and frequent the phenomenon of men masquerading as women in order to fulfill their fantasies is. Dozens of men even create accounts on regular SFW lesbians subs just to harras women and write about their fantasies in DMs.

It's something that happens on Tumblr as well, if you think of it, straight men interacting with lesbian posts, sending unsolicited NSFW pics or messages, many femmes told me that we should start doing something for that as well, but in the meantime, signing this petition is important, please reblog it!
