(i don't know why this page was changed to exclude non-lesbian femmes and fems, especially since it still has all inclusive flags, but it's fixed now) |

Line 16:
Traditionally, femmes have been expected to be attracted to [[Butch|butches]]. For some femmes, this attraction to butches represents a strong part of their own identity. However, some femmes are attracted to other femmes. This is sometimes referred to as "fem-for-fem" or "femme-for-femme."
While the femme label is often used by/associated with lesbians, it is also used by other groups in the LGBT+ community. This includes [[Multisexual|m-spec]] sapphics and LGBT+ [[Male|men]]. Femme men often use the spelling "fem," which is simply the older version of "femme". "Fem" was also used by LGBT+ women before "femme" became common. Femme men are associated with highly exaggerated feminine style and manner, which is often a reclamation of the derogatory association of LGBT men with femininity.
