coming out 💜🤍🩷
this is my first post here, actually! although i remember joining around the time this subreddit was first created
this is a drawing i finished in par with my coming out as femme. i have a long, complicated history with gender & expression--especially with me being intersex, transfem & historically gender-nonconforming. ive done a lot of self-reevaluating recently, & without getting into the nitty gritty of it all, i came out knowing that i am femme
for the longest time ive had the masculine label assigned to me, willingly or not, & i felt that i was obligated in a way to uphold that. but i realize now thats not where i stand. even if i may pass off as masculine to onlookers, i know who i am & that is all i should care about. at the end of the day, femme & butch labels have always represented queer femininity & masculinity respectively, they were never about conformity
happy pride to you all :-)
