What's on your mug?

Also referred to as stone femme, a high femme is a femme lesbian who doesn't want to penetrate her partner during sex or touch her partner's genitals. This doesn't necessarily mean she's adverse to pleasuring her partner in other ways, but she doesnt feel the desire or need to. Contrary to belief, high femme doesnt inherently mean extremely feminine, this is a myth spread by the futch scale which was started by reddit lesbians as a joke. Additionally, high femmes arent selfish or lazy!! High femmes are valid ♡

First, a femme (in English) is a queer feminine woman. Most women who identify as femme are interested in butch women or transgender (biologically female tending towards male identy) people. Femmes may or may not identify as lesbian, as the butch/femme dynamic aligns as easily with heterosexuality as it does with the non-butch/femme lesbian dynamic. Especially if the femme is only interested in male-identified butches, she may not consider herself a lesbian. High femmes are femmes who intentionally and consistently embrace and express femininity past the point that most straight women do.

She's so high femme, she's sometimes mistaken for a drag queen.
