Hell yes I will

update: that was really good, thank you for sharing so much of yourself 🫂

“There are as many types of women are there are stars in the sky, and we live in a society that desperately wants to snuff out the ones it deems unacceptable” thank you so much for putting this into words

Really good essay that puts much of my lived experience to words

windienine.bsky.social•51 days ago

really good read. i've been seeing a lot more trans women friends pick up futch as a term (and it's been such a great fit!) seeing all the ways the term resonates with your experience was really lovely. the future belongs to mean lesbians.

This gives me a lot to think about. Thank you!

thank you for putting thought to page here, Fae. There are so many spots that, if they don't exactly mirror, run alongside my own experience I just never quite had the words to articulate them.

read it, found it very useful. as a trans woman who has not thought so much about her presentation and labels besides knowing that i only want to wear dresses/makeup on occasion (and unsure what to call that), i think that i like this model, this label

faerynnistired.itch.io•51 days ago

that makes me happy 😌

milesew.bsky.social•51 days ago

Wonderful! Thank you for this 💗. I am trans masculine but was high femme before. I have not really found ways to express the femme side much. And it is hard trying to explain what my gender is. I don't think anyone gets it, really.

<3 i'm glad it hit

Just finished reading, great article/writeup!

Transitioning for 12 years, my identity went in all sort of directions and only recently transfemme connected best with me.

I'm happy you finally found that for yourself as well and sharing that experience. I'm considering doing a sort of similar blog.

froey.bsky.social•51 days ago

I hope you do more of these by the way. I do read a majority of your threads here regarding gender, sexuality, feminism, etc. and it's easier to keep these around for reference.

faerynnistired.itch.io•51 days ago

yeah honestly, i am considering doing these essay/blog posts more as opposed to threads just for the ease of organization

faerynnistired.itch.io•51 days ago

also tysm for your kind words <3

froey.bsky.social•51 days ago

You're welcome! If you don't mind, I may link your article through my blog when I talk about my long personal experience with gender/sexuality. Call it a sort of inspiration.

and please do write more!! I'll be sure to read em~

faerynnistired.itch.io•51 days ago

i don't mind at all <3

translefts.bsky.social•51 days ago

this is a wonderful essay. as a transfem butch i relate to a lot of what you said re: masculinity, transness, & constructing an identity for yourself. thank you for this 🙏

faerynnistired.itch.io•51 days ago

yeah!
