The Femme Continuum: The "Highs" and "Lows" of Visibility

[The_Lady_Snow]

The descriptors you used in the post to *me* are assigned markers of hierarchy... Femme has no High ----- Low, we- just are. For me it's my gender so..... I can't and won't fall into the trap of assigning "value" to Femme. I'd like to address the stuff about Femmes of Color and our experiences but I'll take the chance and be transparent and say I'm not comfortable cause there was some hostility in the posts regarding a WOC's perception about race/identify/gender/Femme...


Candy, I'm going to come back after work and share my experience as a Femme who chose to live with a cis gender man and the trials of holding on to Femme

Hang in there sister!

I have come to feel a strong distaste for adjectives preceding the word 'femme'.

1. high
2. completely
3. ultra
4. real
5. true
6. natural
7. pure

I'm sure there are a few others that trouble me.

I understand that some members use those words as shorthand, but they raise my hackles.

What meaning are those adjectives intended to convey?
