“To my queer and activist and feminist folks (to all, really) who are still continuing to judge femmeness as an unclaimed identity part of the patriarchy - recheck yourselves, because i don’t think that’s a very feminist way of being. if you’re surprised a high femme is queer, then recalibrate that ingrained heterosexist thinking. unlearn it. don’t think my wearing false lashes is a reflection of my self-esteem. in fact, it’s a celebration. don’t say, “you’re beautiful, you don’t need to wear that.” (this actually happened to me, and i’m disappointed that this person was supposed to be a queer activist). it’s too bad you’re too caught up that you don’t get to party with all this colour and glitter. my heels and make-up and long hair is going to be and will be part of the revolution. with cleavage and all. get used to it.”
