Folks with kids 12 years, 4 months ago
Anybody seen this piece about the parents who are raising their new baby without disclosing his or her gender? Thoughts?
-
I think its wrong to impose anything on a child. Anyone who has had kids, especially from birth, knows that a child automaticly knows what it likes and what it wants. and I don’t push anything on my kids. They both got the same gender neutral winnie the pooh crib set. But having a child carry the wieght of your beliefs in my opinion is just sick.…[Read more]

Hmm. The parents were pretty clear that they’re not trying to make the KID hide his/her gender — they’re just not allowing other people to project all their own stuff onto the kid in the meantime. Barring language delays, the kid will be verbal enough to go around announcing it in the 2-3 age range. So we’re talking a really limited period of…[Read more]

Femme Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agoI am having the same problem as dizzy – that’s why I don’t reply to her post. Hope the problem will be solved soon? What about contacting Tess? Also, you are a lovely bunch of femmes. :)

Femme Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agohey femmes, is anyone having trouble with replying to comments in Femme Straddle? When I click ‘reply’ nothing happens… but the main reason I am posting this is to say thank you for all your lovely and thoughtful responses to my question about femme-ness, I would really like to engage with what you wrote, but GRRR the thing won’t let me.
-
Yes! If I click the “reply” button, it just refreshes the page but does not provide me with a text box. HOWEVER, if I click “view” next to the timestamp, it takes me to the permalink for the comment and from there the reply button works. THE EXISTENCE OF THIS COMMENT PROVES IT! TA DA! (Still, I wonder if there’s a place we can email/comment about…[Read more]

THANK YOU! You are a genius / lifesaver :D
Yes, I agree, an email of help is in order, I wonder who to contact? The weird thing for me is that Femme Straddle seems to be the only site I can’t reply normally too.

tess is the tech person, I think.

Femme Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agoIs it totally penisy to join a group and immediately start plugging your blog? Yes? Maybe? Because my buddy @prufrock and I have a pretty sweet butch-femme blog and our latest post, a convo on dating, MIGHT JUST BE RELEVANT TO YOUR INTERESTS, fellow fab femmes: http://buzzcutsandbustiers.com/2011/05/19/the-butchfemmeinist-dating-edition/

Omg the @ thing worked. LOVE YOU AUTOSTRADDLE.

Oh, that was fun to read, and though-provoking too. Thanks for sharing it! (I admit, now I feel a little down about not having a date for NYC pride, but I always have a good time with my friends anyway, and I get to hold hands with one of them. :D)
-
WOO! Thanks for reading! Hope you’ll check back—we’re still a little poky at getting content up, but I’m pretty proud of what does go up :) Your Pride friend-dates sound perfect!

I have a rhetorical (cough cough right) question for you.
How is it that all the couples I know are monogomous, but all the people I date are poly (as a lifestyle). How’d all the monogomous people find each other?
Yay thanks for playin! Question has been noted, and we’ll reply with the link here when our first answers post goes up! :)
how do butches tell femmes are queer? are we really that invisible? I mean, I have dyke hair now obvs, but I don’t think it makes me look any queerer…just wondering. ;)
Sweet, thanks for the question! We got ya and should have an answers column up soon! :)
These questions. I second them. And will plug my own blog in which the “invisible femme” phenomenon was a recent topic: http://deviantthoughts.wordpress.com/2011/05/15/fabulous-femmes/
Sweet! Will definitely check it out. Our answers column is up if you want to take a look! http://buzzcutsandbustiers.com/2011/05/27/ask-your-bffs-monogamy-femme-invisibility-and-butch-protective-energy/
Post is up! http://buzzcutsandbustiers.com/2011/05/27/ask-your-bffs-monogamy-femme-invisibility-and-butch-protective-energy/ :)
Post is up!! http://buzzcutsandbustiers.com/2011/05/27/ask-your-bffs-monogamy-femme-invisibility-and-butch-protective-energy/ Feedback welcomed, natch.
You two are awesome! Thank you for the very thoughtful answer–online dating has been a whole delicate balance of expectations, reality, voicing my needs but being willing to try new things–but it will be something to think on. :D
Thanks again for the question! The frequency of the feature will probably be based on volume of questions, so never hesitate if there’s another topic you want us to tackle :)
When I find that great lady on a dating site, I want to write her but I always feel like what I have to say is DUMB. Advice on what to write to break the ice and make nice? ;)
Yay thanks for the question! We’ll keep it on hand for the next installment!!
