I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

My group and I have come up with the following proposal regarding our changes to the article on femme identities: To expand the definition of femme in order to highlight the sexism within the queer community by further discussing the femmephobia / femme invisibility / femme erasure that occurs as a result of this inner community sexism. The femme erasure is largely due to the rejection of heteronormative roles, the view of feminine as inferior, and the popular emphasis on female masculinities. Also, we plan on separating femme from butch, as the butch-femme association promotes the idea that femme is only an identity when there is a butch counterpart.

Article for draft

Sorry about that! I was planning on making changes on the "Butch and Femme" page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butch_and_femme
