I am the white stripe in the flag because I am a trans MASCULINE butch. Lots of butches have complicated relationships with their gender and I’m definitely one of them. Butch to me is a gender. But I am gnc and don’t align with man/woman identities. I thought I did, but I don’t. Gender is complicated, it’s made up, it has to many rigid rules and norms that it becomes exhausting. Right now I’m fighting for my life because I posted my lesbian visibility post on instagram reels (never again) and I’m having to explain countless times and times again about what I mean by “gnc butch”
My sideburns are my most prized possession and yet I’m told I’m not a lesbian because of it. I don’t CARE what you think. (Will delete comments if necessary) #butch#lesbian#Pride#pridemonth
#stitch with @Eric Forman irl always explaining myself but yall just don’t get it. Anyways follow my instagram love you guys thanks for those who support me #butch#queer#lesbian#trans
Can’t even talk about it anymore without everyone losing their goddamn mind. I know this one’s gonna spark outrage too but idc IM A LESBIAN WITH A WEIRD GENDER AND PROUD #lesbian#butch#trans
Don’t get me started on the conversation of the double standards of accepting extremely feminine gay men but then hating on extremely masculine butches, it doesn’t make sense and you need to have a personal reflection on how you interact with queer people. Get more woke now #queer#butch#lesbian#trans
We’re called the queer community because we don’t fit into the norm so why try to? What they don’t tell you is you can do whatever you want forever so just be you guys #butch#queer#lesbian#trans
There I go again over explaining myself again. But I did want to share what has been happening and it’s just been a crazy few days. I am being reposted on people stories to send me hate, to transphobic subreddits, people tagging other bigot creators to make a video about me. It never ends. But I know when to give myself a break from it all. But trust me, when I come back; I refuse to be quiet. My leave of absence isn’t fear, it’s self care. Peoples words don’t actually do anything to me, I’m very secure in myself, that has never been an issue. The issue is people’s ignorance and refusal to learn more. Can’t tell you how many times I am told “show me the proof” and then I do, and then suddenly it’s “I’m not reading that you’re still wrong”. It’s maddening. It’s riles me up and that’s WHAT THEY WANT. They don’t actually care to learn. Try not to drive yourself mad trying to over explain yourself and what you mean, sometimes just blocking and moving on is so peaceful. Be the bigger person. My block list on instagram is so full and I’m so at peace with that. You know yourself best, don’t overwork yourself. Please find time to make art, hang out with friends, write, go swimming, watch a movie, do SOMETHING away from all the pain, even if it’s temporary because the state of the world is full of pain and hate and it’s not fair. Please please take care of yourself. See you soon xx -Joey
#noticing I say I’m a butch and people go “well I’m not attracted to you and neither are any other normal lesbians”…. Ok. I also don’t just notice this with me, it’s heavily in other minority groups, like during the ICE raids, people protest saying “not the hot latinas!” ?? So nasty. Your basis of what makes a person a human being or not is if they’re conventionally attractive and fit into the box that YOU are forming. It’s exhausting being a queer person who cishets are still trying to force us into their boxes. We’re queer for a reason. #butch#lesbian#Pride#queer
WHILE watching Doctor Who as well (Angels Take Manhatten, my fave 11th episode) it’s a sad animatic but I’ve been imagining it for weeks now I had to finally make it real otherwise I would go crazy (I’m still crazy) I just love Doctor Who SO MUCH RAHHH #artist#doctorwho
Fake idgafer, I do gaf but I’m at the point where I’m exhausted of over explaining myself, I have it posted here MANY upon MANY times. It’s there for those are genuinely curious but people don’t take the time to look and read. Jumping to conclusions, assuming things, getting MAD at things I have never said. It’s not worth it. I like posting about my identity but not when I have to KEEP EXPLAINING IT. THOSE WHO GET IT GET IT, THOSE WHO DONT, DONT! THATS FINE! Anyways slowly posting again, I feel in a better headspace to come back :)
