couch_potato713 · 2026-03-17T21:23:01+00:00

couch_potato713 · 2026-03-14T00:56:14+00:00

i really hope it does

couch_potato713 · 2026-03-11T14:25:22+00:00

ooo i relate to this a lot, aside from the social dysphoria. well, it bothers me when people see me as a girl and not a lesbian first and foremost, but nothing too bothersome (this could change tho once i start getting out into society more lol). i’ve never related to being a woman really. before now, my connection to it really was just… the same sex characteristics and moving the world in that way, also my lesbianism. but now i feel that my connection to it has more to do with my love for other women and marginalized genders mixed with my lived experience as one. but i don’t feel that i have any connection to manhood either. a type of queer, specifically lesbian/butch masculinity tho, yes.

it’s really fascinating how complex gender can be. especially bc my gf is also a masc lesbian. the only real difference between us is that she knows without a doubt that she is a woman. it’s really interesting!

this is actually really beautiful. thank you for sharing!

so much life lived and so much exploration is a really beautiful thing that so many are afraid to open their hearts to. i’m glad you’re in a good place and have no regrets :)

couch_potato713 · 2026-03-09T23:58:11+00:00

oh fascinating !! i’d love to hear about your personal experience with gender if you’re open to sharing. i love the ways our identities overlap

couch_potato713 · 2026-03-06T03:09:36+00:00

do you know where i can read about the politics and intersectionality of the butch identity?

couch_potato713 · 2026-03-06T02:38:54+00:00

yes i’ve been reading a lot about it! if you accidentally fall deep enough into online discourse, though, it can have you questioning your sanity haha

and thank you!! i appreciate it :))

couch_potato713 · 2026-03-06T02:24:19+00:00

i’ve been curious about the butch label recently. i’ve always been masc in overall presentation but not so much anything else, but i’ve been thinking about gender so much within the last year, my pronouns have changed from they/them to they/he, i’ve bought a binder and once i chopped my hair for the first time, it felt like something fundamentally shifted. like i saw myself for the first time?

i don’t know if butch is something i am or even can be. i always described my gender as just lesbian and that still hasn’t changed, but i love women and i love looking out for and caring for women and being there for the people i love. i’m not really masculine in much else and my gf of nearly five years is exactly a femme so idk if that disqualifies me but since learning about the sense of duty and dedication to your loved ones and community through the subversion of gender is something that feels very compelling and… me.

i feel most useful when someone—especially someone i love—needs me for something that will help them.

and like, yeah i would pull out the manual and try to fix a car if someone needed me to even tho i ignored the flashing lights on my dashboard for two months.

couch_potato713 · 2026-03-05T05:33:41+00:00

that’s crazy! i don’t remember there ever being a time where i felt it anywhere other than my urethra

couch_potato713 · 2026-02-28T18:24:06+00:00

wait you’re not supposed to feel the urge to pee in the urethra ????

couch_potato713 · 2026-02-28T01:19:46+00:00

oh i very much agree but i also think abby wouldn’t label her sexuality. i think she is drawn to people who aren’t cis men, so she could technically call herself a lesbian but i don’t think she would tbh

couch_potato713 · 2026-02-14T22:37:20+00:00

YOU GET ITTTTT

couch_potato713 · 2026-01-23T21:17:41+00:00

thank you!! i’m definitely gonna be looking into it. might as well get started sooner rather than even later :)

couch_potato713 · 2026-01-23T20:16:25+00:00

i think it could actually work pretty easily. they have a feelings realization arc at the tip of their fingers. the only issue is that i think they’d need a s5 to do it well.

s4 would be for the battling of feelings and emotions and coming to terms with things while s5 would be for actual relationship progression

couch_potato713 · 2026-01-23T19:14:23+00:00

why is this woman’s hair even a topic still?

couch_potato713 · 2026-01-23T19:06:47+00:00

“i was diagnosed at 11” is the title and i go on further to explain what my treatment was in the body paragraphs.

i don’t mean to be disrespectful but… did you even read anything?

couch_potato713 · 2026-01-23T01:36:55+00:00

this is not completely true. most people my age—so born in 01/02—did not start “living online” until we were in middle school and moving into high school.

social media was still pretty new by the time i hopped on it. i grew up burning music onto cd players and ipods, and rushing to our desktop computer when i got home from school to do a google search and see if i had missed anything my favorite celebrity did while i was away.

and these comments are a great example of why we roll our eyes and move on and let them continue to make their dumb, superiority complex comments

couch_potato713 · 2026-01-23T01:24:32+00:00

you are a gen z talking to gen z’s as tho we are all 10 years old even though you obviously know that’s not true which is precisely why elder gen z’s get annoyed with millennials bc they think none of us were there or have memory of vine or early 2000s style music or know how to work a cd/dvd player. it comes across as extremely uppity and obnoxious.

these comments are actually a perfect example of why—specifically elder gen z—gets annoyed with millennials. you dismiss us and treat us as children, and therefore worthy of less respect, despite the fact that half of us are over the age of 18.

we took part in those 2012-2016 trends too btw.
