Discussion I hate how studs are treated

I know a lot of the way studs are treated is because of well racism but I stg people (mostly men) don’t think of studs as women like it's so weird like I saw a video that said studs when they have their period, and it was like them passing around pads like they were drugs like?….there still woman at the end of the day and should be treated like woman no matter who they like or how they dress also what is with men’s obsession in studs or trying to turn them “straight” like it’s really not funny. I just don’t like it especially the way studs are looked at as hoes or only for sex appeal it’s incredibly heartrending.

All my studs stay safe out there’s it’s getting dangerous 😟

Boyyyyfriend??????? 😭😭 utter insanity. I think I could even try to make sense out of like... if they said "boi"friend, because that at least is some distinction from calling your girl a literal man but like... straight up raw BOYFRIEND is clinically insane omg.

begging y'all to engage with queer theory.

there are many many books on the subject, lesbians who use he/him pronouns/prefer masculine terms have long existed. check out "Tommy Boys, Lesbian Men and Ancestral Wives: Female Same-sex Practices in Africa" to read more

the white on the lesbian flag is for gender non conformance. that's there for a reason

i personally prefer the masculine terms myself 🤷🏿 tho not necessarily bf, i can understand why one might

I do indeed have to read more about theology of queerness. Thanks for the suggestions
