I& #39;m today years old when I realised that when I post pictures like this, peeps may be like "ohhh yeah they like womxn and sexualise them"...but on a level it& #39;s really just because the outfit is bangin& #39; and femmes are me and I am them in so many ways and the respect is deep.
I really feel that gender is a performance, but it can be playful and fluid. So many people that I post (particularly on insta) are often serving fierce, femme energy and that is what I feel inheritanly connected too, not necessarily womanhood.

using the word "femme" over the descriptor "feminine" is a key component in claiming my queerness. It& #39;s not about the traditional views of femininity for me, it& #39;s about radically reclaiming and queering the traditional.
You& #39;re going to use the correct pronouns for me, because that& #39;s who I am, regardless of if you think I look feminine or not. It& #39;s not about what that word means for you traditionally it& #39;s about who I am in the present.
And also... somewhere else in this topic is that we have such a want and need to be attractive and often femininity is the way people perform that.
Things are more complex than these BBY tweets, but all in all... I& #39;m not a fan and do not want binaries for myself xoxo
There& #39;s another piece from my first tweet, that is really about the way people see queerness as a really sexualised aspect of identity/how partriachy assumes that anyone attracted to womxn will be & #39;one of the boys& #39; and take part in the same objectifying behaviour.
Alas, these are just thoughts enit.
