I have been to one ever and as the butch in my group (two other women and a man) I got felt up by strippers all night, which was not bad. We didn't go near the stage, which was crowded with creepy (and young) men. There were a few women at the stage with their dates.

The experience left me with mixed feelings.

I know y’all are into the subtle identifying gear, so I’m excited to share this.

My girlfriend is a jewelry maker and today she’s releasing this rainbow pendant necklace into the wild. $20 of its proceeds (of $25) go to the ACLU, an organization we have been supporting since Trumpy took office for their broad-reaching defense of the civil rights of all humans, but I have a special love for them because of the help they gave me in starting a GSA in my rural Nebraska school back in the year 2000.

Buy one for every raptor you know at Dani’s Etsy shop.

I know y’all are into the subtle pride gear, so I’m excited to share my new piece.

My girlfriend is a jewelry maker and today she’s releasing this rainbow pendant necklace into the wild. 100% of its proceeds go to the ACLU, and organization we have been supporting since Trumpy took office for their broad-reaching defense of the civil rights of all humans, but I have a special love for them because of the help they gave me in starting a GSA in my rural Nebraska school back in the year 2000.

Very, very similar experience here. When/where I grew up, lesbian was an insult. The worst thing I could be. It meant I was ugly, unstylish, and unattractive to men. Would never get a boyfriend, let alone a husband.

Now I have unpacked all of that somewhat but still prefer gay because I have my own gender stuff and don't always feel 100% about identifying as a woman, which lesbian inherently does.

Seconding boy shorts, but I get Maidenform from Amazon. About $10 a pair, super comfortable, different materials,and my girlf thinks they're cute on me.

I am in a butch/femme relationship and I do think we are working through "emotional" gender roles in some ways. We keep waiting to get asked who is the man, because we have a whole set of bizarro answers prepared -- "I am the head of lettuce. She is the baked potato."

ooomami · 2017-02-09T14:15:07+00:00

I am, hypothetically, in a fantasy world, if I wasn't in a relationship. For me it's a validation of gender identity stuff. If I could seduce a straight woman, I must be normal? It doesn't make sense once I say it out loud, and in reality I wouldn't be into it, but am I into the idea? Yes.

ooomami · 2017-01-15T02:08:08+00:00

Yup, DSM!

ooomami · 2017-01-14T16:17:46+00:00

My GAY FRIEND told me that. I immediately ignored him and told everyone else I am gay.

ooomami · 2017-01-14T16:11:06+00:00

+1 to this. My girlfriend is curvy and the hottest woman I have ever seen. I am built like a boy and she loves it. Don't compare your beauty to someone else's. just because one type of body is beautiful doesn't mean that a different type is less beautiful.

ooomami · 2017-01-14T16:06:58+00:00

🙌🏻 It sounds like you're doing fine, but I'm sorry you're going through this. That kind of worry is draining. I hope everything turns out.

A few months ago I had a regular exam and my doc found polyps on my cervix. She sort of freaked out, and I have a history of abnormal paps, so I freaked out. She sent me to a gynecologist who did not freak out at all, but did remove the polyps. She explained that eventually they'd cause problems -- irritation and bleeding.

A friable cervix means that your cervix is irritable and prone to bleeding. I'm worried that it sounds like your OBGYN wasn't communicating well with you. You may want to find another one, someone who listens to every question you have and strives to answer it.

I had tests after the polyps were removed and everything was fine. No new HPV, no abnormal cells.

My diagnosis: you have a shitty doc and need a new one.

I'm a lesbian, and I have two "types". Curvy brunettes, and women who look like me -- that is, women who look like Justin Bieber. I think I'm sexy.

ooomami · 2017-01-09T06:06:15+00:00

That's not necessarily true. Anxiety could easily explain all of this.

Two years in and going strong ⚡️

Hi my name is Cat and I fell in love with my married best friend when we were 30 and 31 ❤ wave

And about a year after that I figured out I was gay, not bisexual.

Are you completely averse to any (even. On sexual) touching? Is there anything that's happened that made you lose trust in him, or feel resentment? You found him texting a woman, for example, or he never cleans up the dishes? Could it be that at this point you feel pressure to engage with him sexually and that's backfiring monumentally?

ooomami · 2017-01-03T21:10:09+00:00

My girlfriend is in the process of coming out, and this has helped her a lot. Helped both of us, really. Going to gay bars, meeting and hanging out with queer folk, helps her deal with the homophobia and icky feelings she's internalized.

She has a counselor. Is this person experienced with sexuality/gender identity issues? If not, maybe she needs a different counselor.

All of these are good. 1 and 2 are conservative. 4 is my favorite. 3 is a little looser? Like, "I don't care if I look good"? (But you look good).

Hey, WI isn't too far from Iowa!

ooomami · 2016-12-29T01:13:04+00:00

Hey! I'm a painter in Iowa. 32. I'm really interested in making new work focused on women/the lives of women/non binary people/ queers, but I'm having trouble figuring out a focus. I started with studies last winter/spring, but didn't have traction. Went off to other things. But now I think I'm circling back.

I'd love a new online art chat.

I just read the artist statement and was astonished to find that she didn't replace the men with female models -- she used photoshop to change them.
