it's never funny to say "that's unfortunate" or something to that effect when someone comes out as a trans man or some other type of man, or tells you that they are attracted to men/a man. it will never be funny, it's literally just queerphobia. queerphobia extends to queer men, too

Yo se muy bien que sales con alguien mas... Y aunque pretendo que no me dan celos si quiero saberlo, conocer el rostro que te hace ignorarme.

ngl it irks me that people have removed butch and femme from their cultural significance and redefined them so much that they’re now synonymizing butch with “man-like” or masculine and femme with “woman-like”/feminine. like just completely abolishing the depth and significance of these identities to be two opposite ends of a cis-heteronormative spectrum (essentially reinventing m/f) as opposed to two complex and separate queer identities. so then you get people saying things like “futch” instead of genderfluid or genderqueer or nonbinary or bigender, all of which are real and valid things to be. butch and femme are not ends on a sliding scale, butch does not simply mean “masculine” and femme does not simply mean “feminine.” there’s other resources on this and other people who can explain it better than me but basically please don’t dilute the meaning of these cultural identities by putting them on a spectrum they don’t belong on.
edit: blocking people who leave annoying or dumb replies 💋❤️

Jean-Baptiste Carhaix ~ « Sister Sadie the Rabbi Lady » (1983) Galerie Vrais Rêves, Lyon
From « Over the Rainbow » at Centre Pompidou
Over the Rainbow proposes a constellation of diverse artworks whose common feature is that each in its own way affirms what homophobic representation denigrates.

It's National Coming Out Day, and did you know that coming out used to have a different meaning before World War Two?
Gay, or rather camp culture of the early 20th century drew a lot of inspiration from the high society culture. Fairies used titles like Duchess or Lady (you can read more about them here), drag balls and masquerades attracted hundreds of people, queer and straight, and there were even theatre and knitting clubs for fairies. And the tradition of introducing debutantes into the society took a form of coming out into the gay world. In general, it could mean joining the large, vibrant gay society of American cities, but in particular it referred to huge drag balls at which newcomers were introduced.
Like many elements of the pre-war queer culture, these balls became especially popular in the early 1930s, the so called pansy craze. There is a great collection of articles about them from the Baltimore Afro-American.
Until the 1960s, there was no such thing as a closet. Gay, lesbian, trans people just did not think that they lived in some prison: on the contrary, the world they knew was expansive. Living in these two very different worlds was more like a stage performance. Quoting George Chauncey's Gay New York,
“Gay people in the prewar years, then, did not speak of coming out of what we call the "gay closet" but rather of coming out into what they called "homosexual society" or the "gay world," a world neither so small, nor so isolated, nor, often, so hidden as "closet" implies” (p. 7).
As for the term coming out, it changed its meaning over time. At some point it was used to refer to the person's acceptance of their sexuality. Then it came to mean a person's first relationship. Only by the 1970s coming out became the practice of revealing one's sexuality to straight people.
