Femme Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agoI made this group coz I often feel like the only femme in the village when I go out. So I love to be reassured that I’m not the only girly girl out there and not the only one who faces: “you’re too pretty to be gay” “or no you’re not.” when I tell someone I like ladies.
-
I KNOW RIGHT, I can like to coordinate my eyeliner to my sundress and still like teh ladies! And the too pretty argument, UGH UGH UGH. You’re too ugly to be straight.
-
One of the best compliments I ever got was from a butch who noticed that I coordinated my eyeliner to my nail polish and the accent color in my scarf. Fear now, folk who appreciate this are out there!
-
-
“you’re too pretty to be gay” is the WORST. Gaydom is what ugly women do (beause they can’t find a man)? Um, no.
-
augh, this drives me mad every time someone tells me this. my best friend’s parents actually think it’s just a phase specifically because i’m “too pretty” to like women. what kind of logic is that? fffff get out and shut the door when you leave.
-
I’ve had gay men say it to me, I didn’t even know what to say…
-
-
hey, im in the same boat, the “too pretty” thing is a popular come back if i tell someone im gay but theres also the “aw, such a waste” – i wana say , wtf?? to most of those ppl but i hate confrontation and just sorta roll with the punches. i needa get a back bone installed! lol
-
Oh my god, my old boss (who is female!!!!) once told me it was ‘such a waste’ that Portia de Rossi is gay. I just kind of gaped at her, but I wish I’d asked her what the hell she meant, because I never understand that crap.
-
but in all honesty, I think we’ve all secretly thought the same about a straight girl :P
-
-
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who worries about the way I dress affecting whether or not people believe that I’m not attracted to men. I mean, I hope I’m never self-centered enough to think I’m the “only one who…” anything, but still, nice to see confirmation.
-
that’s coz femmes are hidden in masses of straight girls, tis why I had to create the group.

If I knew how to skate, I’d be an AWESOME blocker. I played on my college powderpuff team and I totally miss it. Sigh. Instead, I watch from the floor and whimper with desire every time a girl collides on the floor next to me.

I’m not playing derby any more, too much time commitment (college), but I absolutely love it. I’m curious as to what everyone’s derby names are though!! I’m Geek Gone Wild.

I’m fairly sure there’s a league in/around where I’m attending college next year, and I want to try out. My issue: I’m 5’2″ and weight about 100 pounds. I’m tiny as fuck. Will I be snapped in two? Can I even be of use? Is it worth the attempt? (Please tell me I’m not useless; I really do want to “make out with any of the above.”)
-
There is a place for every body type in derby, which is part of the reason it’s so awesome! If you are fast, you will be an awesome jammer, squeezing through little holes like it’s no problem. I have also seen some badass blocking by ladies who are under 5′, because their center of gravity is so low, they are nearly impossible to knock down.…[Read more]

soooo. Anyone played in/watched any bouts lately? I had my second B-team bout yesterday and we won :D
I also left a banana in my bag and it squished so now my pads smell like sweat and banana. Yummy :|-
Congrats to you/your team! I missed my local teams’ second bout of the season last night. But the first one they crushed the other teams so badly it was almost boring… we won both with more than a hundred point lead each time :/
-
haha thanks :D
oh yeah I went to a bout like that the other week. It’s just not as fun to watch when there’s such a difference in skill, you know who’s going to win after the first couple of jams :/
