I’m gonna be tweeting random facts regarding butch women bc I have time today. Did you know butch women, genderqueer, non-binary (whichever label fits) aren’t really allowed to cry bc it’s seen as manipulative & weak? Did you know it’s frowned upon for us to be angry bc folks are
“scared” of us? Did you know we aren’t allowed to be nice to another woman or we’re seen as coming onto them? Did you know our mere presence makes folks uncomfortable? Did you know we’re stereotyped by society (and even within our community) as the male in the relationship?
Did you know being a Black & butch woman makes the world 💯 harder to navigate bc people are doubly threatened? Throw in tall and add to that.
Did you know it’s frowned upon & even a scornful occasion for 2 butch women to be in a relationship together?
And that’s funny to me bc I see men and their wives who dress alike, have the same haircuts and all .. but somehow that’s ok. 😂
Anyway. Did you know butch women can fix things/build things but we can also cook, sew, nurture, & adapt survival skills like no other?
And no we don’t need to grow out hair out so you can think we’re pretty. We don’t need to wear girl clothes or make-up to blend in better. We don’t need to soften our tone. We don’t need to do anything but be exactly who we’re. Y’all need to boss up & adapt. It’s 20 effin 20.
And I’m gonna get some RT’s QT’s etc talking ‘bout ... well, so can such n such women or what about such n such women and lemme say this ... This Thread Is About Us Not You! Ok? Ok.
