My DMs this morning: ⠀ Person: Why do you say are a femme and not a woman? ⠀ Me: I don’t identify as a woman ⠀ Person: But femme translates to woman so it’s confusing. Can you do a story on this and explain? ⠀ Me: My gender only has to make sense to me. ⠀ ⠀ Naming yourself is an act of resistance, it’s future work and never ever has to make sense to anyone else.
