Hi I'm mikaelangelo but I just go by mika :)

Im 17 (2007)

I'm an androgynous lesbian and I go by they/them

I'm mostly masculine/ adrogynous but I'm into feminine aesthetics

I don't really think I have a niche 😭

I'm not sure if I'll post fandom content on here but just know that I am obsessed with sevika from arcane so there's 50/50 chance that I'll post her occasionally

I mostly made this account to interact with other queer people/lesbians because i don't have a lot of lesbian friends irl so as long as your not mention in the dni section feel free to ask to be mutuals here or on other socials :)

In another universe I'm a butch Knight doing random side quest to gain the favour of the femme princess

“The moon is femme, child—high-in-the-sky femme—and don’t you forget it,”  - Leslie Feinberg, Stone Butch Blues, 1993

When I first realised I was a lesbian I wanted to lean more towards the fem label because I have been hypermasc for so long and I feel like I wanted to reclaim my femininity.

But now that I feel more comfortable with my sexuality/ identity I feel like I might be butch

Honestly I've always felt masculine to some degree and, my masculinity has always felt like a part of my identity but I don't rlly feel masculine in like a manly traditional masculinity/ stone top kind of way like I feel more effeminate (masc w some fem traits) or at least kina fluid but I don't see a lot of fluid butches so I don't rlly know if I would be able to claim the butch label

If other butch lesbians could give their opinion or some advise that would be great bc I am so lost 😭

Stud vs Butch: A Breakdown

Let’s talk about two terms that often get thrown around in queer spaces: stud and butch. They’re sometimes used interchangeably by those unfamiliar with their histories, but these are distinct identities, deeply rooted in culture, race, and gender. Understanding the difference isn’t just about vocabulary; it’s about respecting lineage, honouring communities, and not erasing people’s lived experiences.

✨ So, who is a stud?

The term stud originated in Black queer communities, especially among masculine lesbians. While it's often associated with African-American culture, the identity of a stud isn't limited to the US. Black Caribbean lesbians and beyond have also shaped and claimed this term in ways that reflect our own experiences of queerness, gender, and survival.

A stud is a black masculine-presenting lesbian or non-man, often (but not always) dominant in presentation or relational dynamics. Studs tend to reject femininity, embrace a masculine or androgynous energy, and navigate the world in ways that are inseparable from the realities of being Black and queer. That means you can't understand what it means to be a stud without understanding the racial, cultural, and gendered experience that forms it.

❗Who can’t be a stud?

This part’s important: white people cannot be studs. Ever.

Being a stud is more than looking masculine or having swag. It’s not just a “lesbian role” or an aesthetic. It’s a gendered and racialised identity created by and for Black lesbians, particularly those of us who’ve had to carve out space where queerness and Blackness meet. It’s embedded in our culture. When white people try to claim the term, it becomes cultural theft ... stripping the identity of the very meaning it was created to hold. The same goes for non-Black people of colour trying to co-opt it. This isn’t about exclusion; it’s about respecting where things come from, and recognising that some things are not yours to take.

💭 Okay, but what about butch?

Butch has a different history—one that comes out of mostly white lesbian and working-class queer communities, especially in the US and UK. Butch refers to masculine-presenting lesbians or non-men who don’t align with traditional femininity, often expressing themselves through clothing, mannerisms, and relationship dynamics.

Unlike “stud,” the term “butch” isn’t racially bound, though it’s important to acknowledge that it was popularised and made visible through white queer cultures. That said, plenty of Black and Caribbean lesbians do identify as butch, especially if the term feels more accurate than stud or if it speaks to a different kind of masculinity, one that isn’t tied to the cultural meanings embedded in being a stud.

Butch identity has grown more expansive over time. These days, it can include transmasc folks, gender-nonconforming lesbians, and anyone who aligns with a masculine-of-centre identity in queer spaces. Still, that doesn’t mean it’s a free-for-all ... claiming the label with awareness matters. Know its roots. Know its weight. Don’t just adopt it as a “vibe.”

✨ Why it matters

Calling yourself a stud or a butch isn’t just a fashion choice or a way to signal “top energy.” These are identities born from resistance—from the need to exist loudly and visibly in a world that told us we were too queer, too Black, too hard, too soft, too much.

If you’re white or non-Black and masculine? There are words for you. Masc, soft butch, stone butch, masc-of-centre ... hell, make your own. But you are not a stud, and claiming that word only contributes to the ongoing erasure of Black lesbians who already exist on the fringes of queer visibility. Respect isn’t just about intentions; it’s about impact. Studs and butches aren’t characters or archetypes. They are real people, with real culture, real pain, and real joy behind their labels.

OK but hear me out...

Butch knights ❤️

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

As a queer person, specifically as a lesbian, its so comforting to just accept my queerness authentically and not have to water down my identity for other and to just be as weird about my identity as I want to be

I love them

quite literally everything in life is better if you look at it and decide it’s butchfemme

butches…… mmmm butches…. need a butch so bad…. guys i can’t do this right now

"You really think I needed all the guards at the hexgates?"

Just watched a complete unknown and my sister said Bob and sylvie look like a butchfemme couple and I totally agree

Just realised that If I did end it when I was 15 I would've died thinking I was attracted to man

taissa openly calling herself a lesbian as a black teenager in the 90s amongst her team means SO much to me. people today treat the word lesbian like a dirty word (which is fucking horrible but that’s another conversation) and she felt so accepted and free with the yellowjackets she had no problem making a little joke and actually USING the word ‘lesbian’. i love how the show explores the concept of a group completely secluded from the world and its prejudices as a safe space to be yourself and have a wilderness lesbian relationship
