like or rb this post if you enjoy mean femmes. i’m trying to see something
it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.
i wisely turned off the notes on this when it was at 700 but oh my god stop telling me what you "just" use it for in the notes shut the fuck up shut the fuck up I AM NOT A CATHOLIC PRIEST, I DO NOT ABSOLVE YOU. WRITE YOUR OWN EMAILS.
Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources
Updated just now with new hand sewing resources (mainly buttonholes) and textbook pdfs on fashion history, fashion illustration, and thinking through designs!
OP I owe you my life
OP you are the greatest person currently in my life. You beautiful, thoughtful creature.
Probably a silly thing to worry about, but as a recently out transfem butch, I'm getting stuck on how to dress masc in a butch way, as opposed to just masc in a guy way. As someone into butches, do you have any advice?
oh my god yes absolutely 🥰 also, putting out the call to my transfem butch mutuals and followers, if you have any advice or input please reply to this post or rb!!!
i think a lot of looking butch is just curating your particular style, and finding the right accessories. your butch energy will come through. but here are a few items/materials that strike me as particularly butch (some of these may be worn by more of the normie cishet population depending on where you live, i’m in the pnw):
- bolo ties
- vests of any kind
- big fuckoff belt buckles
- leather (🤤)
- butch jewelry!! rings, chains, a double venus pendant, stud earrings, leather bracelets/chokers
- hats
- vintage clothing that looks vintage
- clothing for a specific activity/sport when you’re not doing said activity: motocross jacket, fishing vest, etc.
- bandannas (super cute around your neck or your head if you have long hair)
- suspenders
- wallet chains
- paisley patterns, florals, any intricately patterned fabrics
- unusual/old watches
- doc martens or any big stompy dyke boots
- western shirts
- belts (with the shirt tucked in!!!!)
- if you’re in a casual setting or trying to be slutty, open button down showing off the sports bra is SUCH a look
these are just kinda my own taste and what i’ve seen butches wearing that makes me go ‘oh yeah that’s butch’ but if there’s a specific lane of alternative fashion that calls to you, follow it. i think specificity and intent, combined with that butch je ne sais quoi, really come through when it comes to personal style. and being a little bit vain about your hair 😘
Transfem butch here! Happy to add in a few tips that help get butch masc vs. dysphoric masc
One thing that really helped me was finding a balancing-act line between men and women's clothing. Where that line is for you will differ depending on your body and frankly, how far along you are in transition. I've been on E for over 6 years now, and as a result certain clothing just straight up fits different.
Take jeans for example. I exclusively wear men's boot-cut jeans because 1) They're comfier. 2) They fit better. 3) They're more durable than most women's jeans, especially for a thicker set butch like myself. And 4) The flare of the boot cut coming down from a tighter fitting pant *really* rides that line between masculine clothing, and showing a little more "figure" for your body.
In the women's clothing vs. men's, a lot of my button ups are specifically women's blouses/button ups/flannels, not men's. Women's shirts will have a cut out portion on the hips that *really* feminizes your figure, and from there you can masc the look up with things like how you roll your sleeves, wife-pleaser undershirts, how you button it, etc. My only caveat is that most women's button ups are *horrid* for tucking in, so either make sure they're long enough to tuck, your pants are higher waisted, or use men's shirts for tucked in looks.
Another tip is don't be afraid of tighter fitting clothing, especially T-shirts and tanks. Before transitioning I often bought myself a Unisex XL or even 2XL. Partially because of dysphoria, but also partially because that's just how the clothing was supposed to fit. It was supposed to be looser on the body. Nowadays I'm usually a Unisex L, or even M. If you're earlier into transitioning and your figure has you dysphoric, that's where your open flannels and button ups come in. But trust me, tighter t-shirts are your friend.
Accessorize. My daily is three rings, septum piece, ear piercings, a very large bear paw pendant, a belt or suspenders, 1-3 bracelets, a watch, and a carabiner with enough hanging on it that I sound like a cowbutch with spurs on while I walk. Hell, most days I have more accessories on than my femme. Obviously find the balance that works best for you, but most men don't accessorize much at all. Most butches do.
While it isn't a clothing bit, hair is a big factor as well. Find the style that works for you, and hone in on that shit. Prettyboy-butch who preens their hair constantly is a beloved thing for a reason. Use it.
The other aspect is frankly, if you're a fresher out transfem butch, it's no different than other trans people and finding the right clothes for you, which is that annoying portion of time. If you're medically transitioning, you may find that the look you desire won't be achieved for quite a few years while HRT works its magic.
The final part I want to add to this is for those who may initially react negatively to some of this advice. I'm very aware that these feel like a lot of facets to constantly keep in mind when trying to be butch that feel antithetical to a lot of what butch is. And if this were a perfect world, I would agree. But we live in a world where transfem butches like myself are playing this constantly balancing act of passing as a butch, not a man, while still being masculine. Finding the line of masculine strength, and butch safety in women's spaces. Finding the ability to frankly, pass.
Being true to ourselves while being respected in lesbian spaces, larger queer spaces, and the world overall means needing to be much more intentional than some of my other butch peers may need to be. Many days I put on the more feminine clothing and try to butch it up because frankly, it let's me pass as a woman first. I found with a lot of my TME butch peers, the biggest area that we differ in fashion is just how much more masculine they can dress than I can without fear of being misgendered. One of my best friends, a cisgender butch, will never need to worry about someone refusing to view her as a woman. Never need to worry about entering a space for women while dressed firmly in nothing but men's clothing and a shaved head. That's a privilege that unfortunately transfem butches don't really get. One day perhaps...
I do hope this advice is helpful. Finding your niche in butch fashion can be difficult baseline, but especially as a transfem. Weirdly enough though, I found that once I really found said niche, I actively got misgendered less than I did before. Which I think speaks to the role self love and confidence plays in the whole equation. But that's a whole other thing.
i hope every butch with acne, bush, dad bods, stone identity, high voices, & nerdy interests are having a beautiful day

Not sure how many of y'all saw this, but the combined misogyny-ableism-transphobia was off the charts. I am glad that he did get his top surgery, has support, and that its pursuing it's goals to advocate for other disabled + trans people.
Adding these tags on here too. Intellectually disabled people can be trans and want to transition, too. It's fucked up to say or imply that a trans person should be denied life-afffirming surgery and hormones because they have an intellectual disability, as if that makes someone's dysphoria or potential euphoria irrelevant?
Hey if you’re schizophrenic/psychotic I just want you to know that you’re a wonderful person and that you deserve so much better than the demonization, marginalization and stigmatization you face in this society.
Please consider reblogging this/other positivity posts for schizophrenic/psychotic people every once in a while. If you have more than 100 followers, odds are that a couple of them experiences psychosis and that they rarely see positivity posts for people with their symptoms.
How short are people's memories for them to forget that Airbnb, streaming, Uber used to all be cheap
Mobile services used to also be cheap.
this isn't some new invention of amazon and silicon valley, by the way, it's just how the capitalist market operates. supermarkets originally undercut local groceries in the same way, because they had more weight to throw around, and could take a loss in one spot that was made up in another. it's a general tendency towards monopolisation.

⏰ 🚨 attention please🙏🚨
Riyad suffers from skin rashes and allergies due to the severe diarrhea he suffered due to the unhealthy milk and pollutants that surround us. He is a displaced infant in Gaza, where everything has become very expensive and access to health care and appropriate medicines has become very difficult. Moreover, we are now suffering from the high cost of living and the necessities that our child needs, such as healthy milk and diapers that do not cause skin irritation. My baby is only 7 months old,
We are suffering a lot and urgently need donations to cover the costs of our needs
£2,096/£40,000. Donations are coming in very slowly, and this is extremely urgent, so please donate if you can! Share the campaign even if you can't donate. Every little thing helps!
My heroic friends who support the Palestinian cause... Today, after we have lost hope in this world, I ask you to help us and stand bye🍉💔🙏🇵🇸

maybe its because im an asylum seeker but i am of the opinion that even if immigrants and asylum seekers contributed nothing to a nation that nation should not have the right to deport them.
"oh now no-one will do these jobs," well i think its bad that we take advantage of immigrants and asylum seekers' desperation to force them into exploitative jobs that the ordinary citizen is entirely unwilling to put up with.
think about lesbian sex on. the. clock.

I hate to break it to you but all of Taylor Swift’s songs are about lesbian sex
