Comment on The Unfortunate Tale of a Femme and a Vest by MakingSpace

Wow - thanks for writing this. It only just occurred to me as I read this that I've always put the "blame" on myself for not fitting a particular garment that felt so right - until I put it on. As if the garment were right and my body were insufficient. This writing helped me, for the very first time, turn that belief on its head. Thank you.

Comment on Femme in the Face of Fire: Femininity & Infantilization by Mary

I totally agree with you. I am quite feminine and enjoy dressing up in beautiful dresses, and soft fabrics. I feel that this is what I like, and as a long as i am putting it on for me, and I want to wear it cause it makes me feel good, why does that make me less of a strong woman. I don't judge anybody for what they choose, and see as less of a strong woman, because we all want a label for what is strong.

I think dressing like a man is sometimes like saying, I am more empowered if I were like a man. Please nobody be offended, if that's what you like go for it!!! But don't judge me.

I am so glad I came onto Femme Galaxy!
First of all, I am glad to find a blog where femmes can write and relate! And this article spoke volumes to me. I have always identified as a femme and when I am around other femmes or women, the tomboy side comes out.
So good to know I am not the only one out there and that it is ok; I am ok.
I thank you.

I have a hard time finding anything clothing, accessories, etc that sets me apart from my straight female counterparts. I want to look sexy. I want to be beautiful. But I still want to look gay and attract the right audience. How do you do that when you're a lipstick lesbian?

I am one of those women who never thought I could have an internal orgasm, let alone "squirt". I have been to the point where it feels like I have to urinate, and then I just stop. Soooo, now reading this information, along with some videos I watched (some porn, some educational i.e. Jaiya"The Liberator") my boyfriend and I are going to try right now and see what happens WISH ME LUCK!

As a gay man, I hope it's not rude for me to offer my own perspective.

I personally love this idea- it's very supportive and nurturing to a person's spirit to have a sign of belonging and connection. And the spiral is a very powerful feminine symbol, reminiscent of a great many mystery schools in ancient Greece that were female-oriented.

I might suggest that you could have more than one symbol- the spiral, the heel, the shark, and the pink star all say what you want to say, in different ways. Sort of like the way people used different signs and symbols to represent gay pride, from pink triangles and reclaiming that symbol from Nazi Germany, to rainbow triangles to rainbow anything, to a male-male intertwined or female-female intertwined symbol, etc.

In any case, I think this is a fantastic idea. I hope it picks up quickly.

I like this idea! And now it's got me thinking of times I used a spiral--for example, when I was creating a Second Life women-only dance club, I created this logo/signage:

so I realize I'm massively late to this conversation and maybe there are already loads of femmes out there with the spiral tattooed on their bodies. Let me say first that I LOVE the idea of the spiral, how it can be individualized, meaning so many different things, and reinvented infinite ways.

and, i was over on crashpadseries.com and I saw a woman with a blue rose tattoo, that immediately brought to mind the butch blue stars. and I can't help thinking a blue flower, it doesn't have to be a rose, might be just as good as a spiral, if not better. Her name is Akira Raine. http://crashpadseries.com/wordpress/characters/akira/
