If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and be eaten alive.

Autostraddle: Being The Visible Femme
As you can tell, I’m a fan of all fashion advice to be found on Autostraddle. This article tackles how to balance femme style with “looking gay”.

Femme Camouflage
When you have so many dresses of the same color that you completely forget about a super adorable dress that is wedged between two in your closet. And you only find it after ripping your closet apart to find a totally different dress.
The pain of wearing so many black things is that this happens so much! Also, I have too many black and white striped things.
Haha, yes! I have so many cute black sleeveless tops and neutral-color dresses and tunics. I rediscovered a white dress the other day and made an outfit with it for funsies.
[Bi Women Newsletter]: Spring 2012 issue Call 4 Articles, "Voices of Youth”
The theme for the Spring 2012 issue of Bi Women Newsletter will be “Voices of Youth”. If you are 25 or under, here’s a chance to share your story.
What is it like to be you? How did you come to identify as bisexual (ambisexual, fluid, pansexual, pomosexual, omnisexual or otherwise non-monosexual queer-identified)? Where did you learn about bisexuality? Was there a Gay-Straight Alliances in your high school? Are your friends accepting of your identity? What about your family? Do you have any role models? Are you a role model? Where do you get support? Are you an activist? What advice would you give to other young people who think they might be bisexual or otherwise non-monosexual queer-identified?
Let me (Robyn Ochs, Editor) know right away if you’re planning on writing. And send your submissions by February 1st to biwomeneditor (at) gmail (dot) com.
And PLEASE re-post this, share this, spread the word
Anti-femme culture (and feminists aren’t immune to this) thinks the effort put into femme presentation is a waste of time and energy – or, at the very least, time and energy that could have been spent doing something more important. Anti-femme culture thinks “pretty” probably means “dumb” even when struggling against a culture obsessed with an impossibly narrow beauty standard. Anti-femme culture thinks you can’t do math AND do your nails.
We are humans! We contain multitudes! I do not think it is a problem that teenaged girls are interested in experimenting with presentation via fashion; I think it’s ridiculous and misogynist that they are ONLY encouraged to do that – and that boys don’t have the same freedom of expression.
