Have you ever heard a straight woman with a short haircut describe themself as butch? Because that would be equal parts hilarious and sad 💀

No but I’ve seen a bisexual in a relationship with a straight man call herself femme

I never said that. I said that femme is a term for women in non heteroconforming relationships. A relationship between a woman and a man is seen as heterosexual no matter if they are bi or not:

i feel like femme is just an adjective to describe how you present as a queer woman? i don’t think if you’re dating a man after having been in relationships with women that your femme identity just disappears

You can be fem.femme is a lesbian specific term, for lesbians who by definition are in non heteroconforming relationships but who are feminine or take a feminine role in loving and supporting butches.
