baldbutch:

ok . this is gonna be a big boy post so strap in

i know a lot of the sapphic/wlw community is centered around soft things about loving girls (you know how almost all the posts add up to “hold girl hand, kiss, braid hair, live in cottage”) but many of them include details that only apply to feminine wlw and that bothers me to no end.

i want appreciation for the girls who aren’t seen as soft. bold women with buzzed heads and strong bodies and masculine style that was born out of our love and admiration for women and our desire to be seen the same way. and i do NOT mean any of that fucking “omg hot butch lady step on me uwu” shit.

let butch lesbians and other masculine wlw still BE soft (WITHOUT making new words for us such as “soft butch”, but thats a rant for another day..). we still have feelings. we love. we cry. we can enjoy things like picnics and cheek kisses and plushies. we are human beings and no matter how “mannish” we look, we are still women who deserve love and respect. hyper sexualizing us while leaving us out of our own community is just a bullshit fetishization masqueraded as inclusion.

we love women the same way you do. love us back.
