Thinking a lot about how lesbians have a very different experience of gender than heterosexual and bisexual women. We aren't seen as "full women". And sometimes? Idc if I'm a "full woman". Sometimes I just want to be a woman around other females and genderless around males. My connection to womanhood is so strong not just because I'm a female, but because I'm a lesbian. I feel my most Woman around Women. Problematic take but as a female I *do* have an internal sense of ~gender identity~. It's just all centered around how much more woman I feel around other women.
And so this brings me to this (very ironic, very /s) collection of lesbian gender flags. To be clear; these are not intended to replace woman or female, or really to be seriously used at all. This is just a fun little graphic design project to explain some of my feelings. But yeah. Today I have decided that if uwu inclu TRAs get to make any gender they want then So Do I dammit. So now I introduce you to:
✨👅homosexy genders for dysphoric dykes👅✨
Butch4FemmeGender: Feeling aligned with womanhood more strongly in relation to butch/femme dynamics (from the perspective of a butch). Color choice because I liked the pallette Coolers gave me, lavender for obvious reasons, vines just 'cause I vibe with them.
Butch4ButchGender: Feeling aligned with womanhood more strongly in relation to butch only relationship dynamics. Colors chosen for their similarity to the gay male flag- representing the desire to be with another masculine female. The plant here is the Butterfly Pea Flower, chosen because it's scientific name is Clitoria Ternatea and that's based.
Femme4ButchGender: Feeling aligned with womanhood more strongly in relation to butch/femme dynamics (from the perspective of a femme). Color choice meant to resemble the pink/orange lesbian flag, but softer and more pastel. Orchids inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe's vulva-esque paintings of them.
Femme4FemmeGender: Feeling aligned with womanhood more strongly in relation to femme only relationship dynamics. Color choice meant to resemble the pink/orange lesbian flag, but brighter and more vibrant. Tulips because they represent love but also mostly because they went with the color scheme😅
DysphoricLesbianGender: For dysphoric lesbians who feel their remaining ties to womanhood are linked to lesbianism. This can be used by anyone who is dysphoric, but especially those who are or have medically transitioned to some degree. Colors similar to the pink and orange lesbian flag, but tonally deeper and focused on the orange/red side. The flower is Sweet William, the only flower typically associated with masculinity/men, to represent the dichotomous way transitioned females are treated as being between sexes.
Alright that's all folquexxes. I look forward to the oceans of angry tears this is going to inspire. Like, how dare I take the precious uwu neogender concept and make it adult human female only, right? Pretty cruel of me to make people pee their pants like that😔✨
