i feel like the usage of femme by nonlesbians really comes down to not understanding the complexity of the term
like, are you actively rejecting the social standards of femininity being a way to perform sexually to men? are you using your feminine presentation to further your identity as a lesbian? are you centering your life around women and adamantly rejecting men, thereby ruining every social standard that has ever said ‘as a woman, you have to be pretty for men’?
or are you just using it to say you like lipstick
i know ive talked about this before but we literally have no reason not to bring the original gay flag made in the 70s by gilbert baker back to regular use!
the pink stripe was simply taken away because pink fabric was too expensive to mass reproduce at the time, and the turquoise stripe was taken away for a really odd reason: for the harvey milk remembrance parade in 1979, they wanted three stripes on each side of the street and didn’t want it to be asymmetrical, so they did away with the turquoise stripe. like, they could have fixed it in some other way without removing a whole stripe, but eh whatever history’s history.
the pink originally symbolized sex and the turquoise was for magic/art and it would just be really cool if we could bring both the stripes back into regular use again since there wasn’t any significance behind the removal of the stripes and we’re perfectly capable of mass producing flags with all the stripes again!

Me and my friend are watching a bunch of Jodie Whittaker movies today and trying to prove that is just the doctor fucking around and having the time of her life. First up is Attack the Block where the doctor pretends she has no idea aliens exist and says fuck as much as she can because she can swear when the bbc isn’t looking
