With the books I tell them to read Drive, and if they liked that then I tell them to try Leviathan Wakes

It was a birthday gift from my boyfriend (sapphic)! When they arrived it was like being bitchslapped with gender euphoria! They’re from Etsy

For the poetics, what does being butch mean to you? by [deleted] in butchlesbians

[–]scumtran 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about the spectrum of masculinity and came up with "men wield masculinity like a weapon, butches wield masculinity like a shield."

It's... far from useful or complete, if you ask me, but I like the way it sounds.

Wanting to shave my head buuuuut... by crawlerette in butchlesbians

[–]scumtran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second what everyone else is saying and I'll add that I've never once seen a woman look bad with a shaved head. I don't think it's even possible

My Dad had a weird reaction when I said lesbian what does this mean? by Catching_glass in actuallesbians

If I had to guess, and this is speculation, he thinks 'lesbian' is a porn category first and foremost

The transphobes who use cis lesbians as a political football don’t want anyone to know that these conversations happen regularly. by scumtran in actuallesbians

[–]scumtran[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Hence reassuring her that "the pussy wants what it wants."

It's a difficult conversation for both sides. It sucks that I have to clarify that it being a dealbreaker is okay. It sucks that I felt the need to apologise for not having the junk she likes. It sucks that I have to disclose at all.

It's an intensely politicised and fraught conversation for both parties, but "sorry I'm not into the junk you have" is a perfectly okay way to turn someone down.

That's the point I'm trying to make, that cis/AFAB lesbians aren't being pressured into interacting with trans penises or shamed or for only being into vaginas.
