Lesbian and queer women all over the world have to face a lot of stereotyping and discrimination based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, and physical presentation. As a femme lesbian, I live this reality almost every day — and believe you me, there are are a number of things not to say to a femme lesbian. Not only are they offensive or undermining, but moreover, they’re usually questions we’ve gotten a million times. I can only speak for myself here, but honestly For those who aren’t familiar with the term “femme lesbian,” let’s imagine a a gender presentation scale where “feminine” is on the left side, “masculine” is on the right side, and “androgynous,” “nonbinary,” and “bigender” are in the middle. A femme lesbian is typically left of center and presents as or identifies with femininity more so than masculinity or androgyny.
