Femme Straddlers 11 years, 10 months agoSo I’m completely new and desperately in need of some advice… where on earth do you meet fellow femmes, and how on earth do you know they’re actually gay ?! Is there a secret handshake or something I’m missing ?
-
Femme invisibility is the bane of my existence. We should really have a secret handshake.
-
There really needs to be a secret handshake. Usually eye contact can seal the deal. But sometimes telepathic communication isn’t enough; a secret handshake would be so cool…
-
i fourth the secret handshake proposition. i can’t ever tell if a girl’s queer or not when they’re femme. apparently it’s pretty much impossible to tell when looking at me, so there’s that. i usually just wear a rainbow bracelet all the time in hopes that other queers will figure it out.
-
I do the rainbow bracelet thing too!!!
Also, I’m planning on going to Smith next year, and taking a women’s studies class as a freshman. I feel like that kind of counts as a secret handshake.-
congratulations! i’m in my first year at binghamton right now, but i’ve got a queer friend over at smith who absolutely loves it there. i keep trying for the intro women’s studies course here, but what do you know, it’s always filled. the rainbow bracelet’s the only thing that keeps people from assuming i’m straight. what’d be a femme-y way of…[Read more]
-
I tried the rainbow bracelet, but then felt like I was trying too hard. No one EVER thinks that I am gay, but when they are around me for long enough it becomes pretty obvious.
I have gone back and forth with this, and sometimes get defensive because the best part of being gay is being who I am while still having the badass quality of having sex…[Read more]

`Majesta I’m so jealous, the parents wouldn’t let me apply to Smith. Also jealous that you’re already into college and I’m stuck waiting til april… :'(
-
Why didn’t your parents let you apply to Smith? Did you apply to any other all women’s colleges?

hand tucks!
5second+ eye contact! (lols that one makes me laugh)But the hand shake would be so fucking awesome.

I was just complaining about this to a friend yesterday. I feel like I’m never going to find a gf in the “real world” because of this. I say we all start wearing pink flamingo necklaces or bracelets. pink flamingos have a history in the gay world as a secret symbol to identify other gays. much better than a rainbow necklace in my opinion.
-
this posting is so old but ugh femme invisibility makes me rage SO HARD. Everyone seems to think being femme makes you less gay somehow, and don’t even try telling someone you’re a femme who happens to be into other femmes!! OHHH NO. al;adjsf;lsf UGH
-
I am so glad it isn’t just me! I know I’m as gay as it gets but I don’t really show it. Unless I’m wearing my HRC “Legalize Gay” shirt everyone assumes I’m straight. I tried getting a hair cut to make me look more lesbian – but that failed. I look girlier. It is really hard to notice and be noticed by women and NOT men being a femme. Handshake??…[Read more]

Ohio is for AutoStraddlers 11 years, 11 months agoanyone in cleveland area interested in a meetup? seriously.
-
yeah. seriously.
-
i’m open to whatever. honestly- i have a large queer void to fill.
-
sure. after Thanksgiving I could do… whatever. west side or east? wednesdays or thursdays work?
-
i’m on the west side. depending on the week, one of those will most likely work. i don’t have an advance work schedule at this point.
-
let’s make something happen the week of the 12th? I’ll be mostly finished with finals and will have a freer schedule.
-
i’m going to be out of town in cincinnati the 14th through the 17th, but maybe something early on in the week could work?
-
I’ll be at work until late on Monday night. What’s your during the day on Tuesday schedule like? If that doesn’t work, maybe we can do something after the New Year?
-
tuesday i work until the late afternoon, and then i am cooking for some friends. looks like the new year is the closest option at this point.

I’m moving to cleveland from columbus in a couple weeks for a job (or less) and would love to meet people.
-
sounds good. keep us posted.
-
I’m in Cleveland now and while I’m not 100% settled (still need some permanent furniture…) let me know if you’ve got some meet-up plans– would like to attend :)
-
hope settling goes smoothly. :) will keep you posted if a meetup ever happens. as of right now- there’s nothing planned.
-
Well, let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.
-
um, you can come to the meetup. that’d be the most helpful thing. you’re one of three [including myself] who is interested at this point.
-
Well it looks like the meet up will be… next year. I’ll let you know if I can foresee any times I can’t show up… most nights are fine, I get out of work at 4:30 or so.

I just looked this up on facebook. Holy cow that’s a lot of people that are going to attend! How awesome! I wish I was going to be in Columbus, I’d go to it too! You going?
-
Cbus is pretty political and gay, so I’m glad it is going to be so big! I live about five minutes from the state house so I don’t even need to worry about parking! I have spent most of autumn deciding what witty sign I should make for this!

Ohio is for AutoStraddlers 11 years, 11 months agoWhere are you Columbus people?! Any OSU students/alum? O-H…
-
Here I am!
-
Hello! So do you currently go to OSU? What are you studying? I’m still kind of new to Columbus since I transferred from a Pittsburgh college a year ago. I love it here though!
-
I graduated from U of Akron last December. I studied Sociology and Criminology. I am also kind of new to Columbus. I moved here for a job, that i passionately dislike and I don’t really know anyone.
-
Really?! I grew up near Akron! I played in a lot of chess tournaments at UoA, and I was always going to concerts at Musica! Plus, most of my high school went to Akron, Kent, or Youngstown State. I ended up in Chatham University in Pittsburgh, then transferred to OSU since I got more fin aid/scholarships, and my gf is here. Despite the…[Read more]

I feel like i could like Columbus. There is so much to do here. However, i work far to much to enjoy anything. But I do prefer it over the hometown simply because my extremely Conservative Christian family does not live here. What are you studying at OSU?
-
I loved Columbus from the first time I came here. My firs time visiting was actually with my dad when I was in 8th grade. We came here for the weekend to see a Christian concert. I also came for a few weekends in high school for church events like OhiomTeens for Christ. After high school, I would visit about every month because m best friend…[Read more]

Well Shoot. I guess ill tell you a little bit about myself. I grew up in the church. It wasn’t an option in my household. I went to a mega church and everybody knew my family because of how involved we were. Literally, i can’t go anywhere in Akron without knowing someone from church. My parents kept me EXTREMELY sheltered. College, although only…[Read more]

Ahhh! I just typed a bunch of stuff, and something made it go away :/ Well, here is most of what I was about to say… I’m glad you didn’t have a worse coming out experience, not that it sounds exactly pleasant.

I should tell you straight away. I HATE cheese. I will only eat it on pizza. But i do love food. One thing I love about the Short North is all the restaurants. I want to go to ALL of them. Have you been to Hound Dogs? I feel like it’s close to where you live. I love that place!! When I’m not at work, I like getting lost in Columbus. I’ll drive…[Read more]
