No More Shaming Femme Tops and Masc Bottoms

Hello, readers, lovers of knowledge, keen-eyed explorers of entertaining stories. Grab a cup of coffee, a kale smoothie, or a glass of rosé – whatever floats your boat. We're about to debunk some stereotypes and, in the process, unravel some truths about the world of Femme Tops and Masc Bottoms.

Now, you're probably wondering what's this all about. Femme Tops? Masc Bottoms? Is it a new line from Forever 21 or the secret code language of Gen Z? Fear not, you're about to get a crash course, and by the end of it, you'll be the gender expression guru amongst your friends.

In the flamboyant world of LGBTQ+ culture, "Femme Tops" and "Masc Bottoms" aren't unheard of. These terms are intricately linked to our understanding of gender roles and sexual identities. The "Femme Top" refers to an individual who is feminine in their appearance and mannerisms but assumes a dominant role in a relationship or sexual encounter. Conversely, a "Masc Bottom" refers to an individual who presents masculine traits but prefers a submissive role.

The issue? Society and its unending appetite for stereotyping. We're living in a world where Ryan Gosling's meme-worthy line, "Hey Girl," is expected from a manly figure and not from a femme person. Similarly, society expects only muscular, masculine people like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson to save the day, not someone who might prefer a bit of glitter on their cheeks.

Let's get one thing straight (or gay, or bi, or however you roll). Gender presentation and sexual roles are not two sides of the same coin. They are separate entities, each with its unique identity. Remember when Lady Gaga belted out, "I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way?" She wasn't just singing about her meat dress or her ability to pull off 12-inch heels. She was singing about identity, about being yourself, regardless of what society expects.

Much of the shaming and stigma come from the preconceived notion that femininity equates to passivity and masculinity to dominance. This is where Hollywood has done us dirty. Remember the movie "300"? Gerard Butler, our Spartan King, all muscles and machismo, leading his men into battle? It's a great film, but it perpetuates a stereotype that masculinity is synonymous with dominance.

Similarly, think about the classic Marilyn Monroe film "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." Monroe, the quintessential femme, is pursued by wealthy men but never holds the reins of the relationship. This stereotype has persisted, suggesting that feminine equates to a passive or submissive role.

It's time we shake up these outdated notions. It's time we stop shaming Femme Tops and Masc Bottoms. We've progressed in so many ways, recognizing diverse identities and expressions. Yet, we cling to these stereotypes, these age-old scripts that define how we should behave based on our appearance.

This is a call to action for us all. Let's break the binary. Let's shake off the shackles of stereotyping. Let's celebrate those who challenge these norms, who embrace their identities as Femme Tops and Masc Bottoms. Think of it as a movement that's as revolutionary as Rihanna's Fenty Beauty breaking the one-size-fits-all foundation myth.

Femme Tops and Masc Bottoms are the living, breathing testimonies to the fact that our sexual preferences and gender presentations are not chained to societal expectations. They are, instead, boundless, as diverse as the colors in a Pride parade.

We live in an era where we can watch Elliot Page take on the Umbrella Academy's world with the same grit and tenacity he had before his transition. Page, despite being a Masc Bottom, is a force to be reckoned with – a true testament to the fact that your sexual preference doesn't determine your capabilities.

The same goes for Femme Tops. Who can forget the iconic moment when Janelle Monáe, an openly queer woman known for her androgynous style, took control of her narrative in her groundbreaking album "Dirty Computer". The power she exudes is not lessened by her femininity; it is strengthened by it.

To all the Femme Tops and Masc Bottoms out there, it's time to step into the limelight. It's time to stop hiding, to stop feeling ashamed. Just like Harry Styles rocking a ballgown on the cover of Vogue, it's time to celebrate your uniqueness, not hide it.

It's high time we stopped shaming Femme Tops and Masc Bottoms. These individuals challenge societal norms, shake up gender stereotypes, and teach us the true meaning of diversity. It's time we celebrated them, learned from them, and embraced a world where femininity can be powerful and masculinity can be tender. It's time to break the binary. Let's make our world a place where everyone, regardless of their sexual roles or gender presentations, feels valued and accepted.

Let's do this, folks, one insightful story at a time. Until next time, keep being you, because you're perfect just the way you are. Now, excuse me while I go and binge-watch the latest season of RuPaul's Drag Race. I hear the Femme Tops and Masc Bottoms are killing it this season!
