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’?
the point of both of these identities is that we are all lesbians living our lives free of needing men so why is it so often that we accuse the other of serving heterosexual patriarchal systems
probably the weirdest information about star wars i could give you is that the death star garbage compactor monster from episode 4 was sentient, was force sensitive, and it wasn’t trying to eat luke – it was trying to baptise him
“When her vision was fulfilled, and the Death Star was destroyed, she pondered what she would be in the next life.”
Rey is Omi
This is according to the short story “The Baptist” in the anthology “From a Certain Point of View,” it’s in the current canon and the short story was written by lesser known sci-fi fantasy author Nnedi Okorafor who seems pretty great.
Anyway it’s 100% in line with the weirdness of the previous expanded universe. Tales From Jabba’s Palace and Tales From the Cantina were two of my favorite books as a kid and they made the most random minor aliens into force sensitive heroes and heroines too.
me, a femme, tacking a rose and a sports bar gift card onto a fishing line and casting it out into a lesbian bar: find me a butch girlfriend
me, a butch, tacking a rose and a sephora gift card onto a fishing line and casting it out into a lesbian bar: find me a femme girlfriend
Me, a femme, hanging out at the lesbian bar with my butch gf, frantically tangling your fishing hooks together so when you try to reel them in its like the spaghetti scene in lady and the tramp: find eachother you sweet, beautiful, useless lesbians
