I love butch femme culture
I love dressing to the nines with my wife and stopping traffic downtown because people are open mouth starring at us.
I love it when the waiter puts my gin cocktail in front of my femme wife and then puts her neat bourbon in front of me. I wink at the waiter and switch the drinks.
I love being the only (young) couple who knows how to waltz at weddings. We put on a show.
I love how she looks in a pencil skirt. She loves my tie collection.
I love how she kisses me on the forehead while I’m fixing things around the house.
I love it when a man asks me a question about car mechanics and I refer the question to her, my car high femme.
I love that she puts a happy note in my lunch every day.
I love how she has my measurements memorized so she can buy me nice shirts when she goes thrifting.
I love how she still gets excited when I buy her flowers.
I love when she bakes brownies and she always sets aside two for me, her sugar butch.
I love how she inspires straight women to ask for more and expect more from their husbands/boyfriends.
I love being a chivalrous butch and worshiping her as my queen.
I love subverting gender norms/expectations. Anyone who knows us knows she is the boss.
I know saying “things will get better” is overused, but there’s nothing more true. Everything is going to be okay.
to anyone who’s autistic
-the amount if socialization you can handle does not determine your worth.
-your special interests are the deepest, most meaningful things in the universe.
-anyone who says your stims are shameful and wrong and gross are wrong. Your stimming is wonderful and you need to know that it isn’t wrong to stim.
-if you’re overstimulated, it won’t be forever. Everything passes, eventually you will be able to find a safe spot.
-your noise sensitivities aren’t a burden. People disrespecting that isn’t your problem, it’s theirs.
-your meltdowns are justified. people should not shame you for having a meltdown, especially if they are a cause of it.
-it’s okay that you exist. You were born to take up space and your existence isn’t a burden because it’s different.
Aging like a fine wine.
