femme flagging

intrazone:

Speakin’ of nails, I am flu stricken and need to lie down and watch all the SVU so I did my nails since I was sitting so still anyway.

The stripes are a bit fucked because lol as if I have a steady enough hand to do that (worth a try tho, I have these tiny brushes I’ve been wanting to try out) and I put the base coat bottle in the picture cause its this beautiful pinky beige that I really enjoy.

sweetlyfez:

Giving femme flagging a go in hopes of feeling a little less invisible.

No specific meanings as such.

Next time I think I might include a little bi pride flag.

Finally got my own silver glitter.

purrversatility:

So even though it’s been said that this painting the ring finger isn’t ACTUALLY always a femme flagging technique after all I’m going to use it that way cause why not as a queer femme I’m invisible anyway unless I beat people with clue-by-fours (though here’s a bunch of femme flagging techniques). I did my shellac with a colour I thought would be more fuchsia (spanking) but turned out red (fisting) both of which I top and bottom for so fair enough. All other nails are silver rainbow glitter, which apparently means starfucker/celebrity. ;)

Looking further into all this however I’m totally confused because I’m reading all sorts of colour listings that aren’t in the expanded hanky list- but there’s no formal list, it seems like people are just making things up individually (kind of maybe missing the point of flagging, which is so that you can express mutual interest and start a negotiation, right…?)

I’m such a Capricorn. Hah.

Flagging I’m interested in:

-poly

-fuck the patriarchy

-fuck capitalism

-stoplights/radical consent

-femme for femme

-blue apparently stands for survivor and not any of the things I thought blue stood for?

Tumblr femmes, please help me. I don’t want to flag for something I’m not intending, because that feels appropriative. Is it just “make up your own”, cause then I’ll stick with the traditional expanded code.

dancing-with-diversity:

Femme flagging to go ice skating tonight.

frompastmetofutureme:

consent always in survivor stripes

chunky silver glitter queer

and iridescent gold apparently stands for ‘celebrity’ or ‘muscles’ so I’m going with it means strength through vanity, because obviously.

mattreadsthings:

Would green glitter mean “fuck the CAPITALIST patriarchy”? #femme #flagging #femmeflagging #queer (Taken with Instagram)
