Tell a friend:

















The examples I gave are intentionally stereotypical, of course. My point is that the labels are not the problem- I think some people are butch, and some people are femme. A lot of people enjoy labels and have fun with them. Other people are niether butch or femme because they simply don't identify that way. Whether labeled or not, I just wish we could get to a place where a label does not determine what is acceptable for a person to enjoy.
I'm not into labels, but as she pointed out embracing labels can be a form of empowerment, sometime to own and claim as yours. And I'm sure when you're starting out that sort of "foothold" can really boost your confidence!
I'm the first time discussion would be helpful, HELL it should be done by someone for straight people too haha!
Also, no matter what lighting you're in... You're beautiful.
I completely agree about the stereotyping. I really believe that stereotypes are perpetuated by people that are simply uncomfortable with themselves.
There's also dyke vs. lesbian. I got flack from someone when I mentioned wanting to get a lip piercing, and that it might help people read me as a dyke. It's my own personal expression of my identity, but he took it as adhering to labels and stereotypes. You don't have to AVOID stereotypes if you're expressing yourself genuinely!
Congrats on your channel. You're presenting the lesbian lifestyle in a much more positive light than most of us (straights) have previously encountered.
I have said this before on this topic. The reasons we have labels today is because it make people comfortable. I personally think that we are who we are and just because of what choices we make dont make us different.
Dont be good be good at it.
