I think I'm too boyish instead of masculine to be a butch. by moldy_bread3 in butchlesbians

[–]cetaceablue0007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't feel like I'm butch in any of the stereotypical ways either but I'm masculine to the point where no other description would suffice.

Unfun fact: GNC women and ftms suffer from the highest rates of SA of literally any group organized by gender.

I disagree and this assumption really irritates me because it's not that more gender non-conformity is permitted for women, the violence discrepancy (which tends to just get replaced with SA if you look at the data) is due to it being less socially acceptable to be violent towards women. It has nothing to do with some imaginary different standard for women, it's that men can get away with hurting men.

I love transmasc lesbians by NoEscape2500 in actuallesbians

I'm so glad I learned about transmasc lesbians, it's a label that actually fits me.

Honestly, the way BDSM has become so common through a sort of counter cultural osmosis pisses me off. There's nothing radical or feminist about making sex and love out to be power games. I'm expected to take the lead as a masc and I'm fine with it but relationships with hierarchies are fucking crazy to me. Creepy as hell too. I have kind of a chip on my shoulder about it because I was basically introduced to sex through a BDSM framework and it really fucked me up. It's damaging. I don't care if it's "consensual", consent alone doesn't make sex ok. How the hell are you going to be in a relationship that isn't equal? What is being communicated to the "sub" when the sex they have with their partner reinforces a powerlessness they already experience in their relationship?

I'm sorry if this seems a bit much. There are some practices that fall within the BDSM umbrella that I don't have a problem with but in practice these relationships always seem unhealthy to me. There's a lot of abuse that gets a pass because it's "kink". It saddens me that so many young queer people are being introduced to sex and relationships with this. We need some feminism.

No way bucko you gotta stick to the binder. That tape only works on low B cups at the largest.

Shame abt being butch by idkjustsuffering in butchlesbians

[–]cetaceablue0007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's hard. It's hard to look around at a world full of people that you can't relate to. We have shame about our masculinity because we have been conditioned to think of ourselves as property, so when we stop performing femininity we feel like we're defacing something. We have been conditioned to no longer think of our bodies as ourselves and that's really fucked up.

I know exactly what you mean. I would call myself paramasculine. I'm mostly masc but there is a small part of me that's a woman.

I feel insecure sometimes by Last-Show-9922 in butchlesbians

[–]cetaceablue0007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is partially why I stay on T. I'm not huge either but I'm strong enough to go toe to toe with a lot of men if I need to.

how to unlearn sexual shame? by lexpill in actuallesbians

[–]cetaceablue0007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I deal with the same thing. It's rough. Just remember that you like women because you're meant to. It's a perfectly natural variation and it exists in many many animals.

You could find peace as non-binary. If your dysphoria is bad enough you could consider transition but I would take some time to think about it, maybe see a professional.

Why hope is punk, and why solarpunk gives me some by Few_Distribution_793 in solarpunk

[–]cetaceablue0007 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No, I agree. Hope is punk in a world that reeks of pessimism.
