Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not driving from West LA to Pasadena with my left foot. And back.

Also, if I can drive to the ER (and expect to drive back) I don't need to go.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

If only lesbians can describe themselves as femme (bis and straight people are being appropriative) is butch similarly limited?

There's a conference in Oakland this weekend that would love to discuss that with you...:) (Butch Voices). I think you're working from a flawed premise with "femme", but...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

OMG y'all, I came by, read, hoped to post, but I'm too pooped to write anything coherent.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Those maps were fascinating, bt.

One maps showed lightning strikes--why do Europe and Russia seemingly not get as many lightning strikes as everyone else??

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Because Thor protects them, they're his favorites.

I think you're working from a flawed premise with "femme", but...

I'm working from a dressing down someone gave a bi poster whose tumblr I follow. She wasn't allowed to call herself femme, because it was appropriative and inconsiderately hurtful--it was a word created by lesbians, only for lesbians, everyone else back off.

It certainly isn't the first time I've seen that--the last time I came into Natter talking about femme it was prompted by a similar delineation.

It's not a premise I necessarily believe, or one you have to --the question is--if that's true, for those who this is true, is there's a similar truth about butch?

I have had steel cut oats for breakfast every morning since I went low-gly. Even the last batch that I burnt was tastier than most alternatives.
