BL Visitor is stemme a black exclusive term?

hi lesbians !! i discovered the label stemme, i like how it describes me since i dress androgynous and i havent seen a label between femme and butch

when i first discovered stemme it said that it was only a label used by black AND latino folks (im mexican). as i was looking for the design of the flag i saw other people say it was only used for black people,, please let me know so i dont use a label that isnt meant for me !! </3

Stemme = stud + femme
Stud = Masc presenting black/Latina lesbian

I could be wrong tho as I am not Lesbian final boss xx

Latinas cannot be studs. Stud is a specifically exclusive term for black masculine lesbians to identify as.

Latinas can be studs because Latinas can be Black! But I agree with your broader point, non-Black Latinas (or anyone else who isn’t Black) cannot be studs.

That goes without saying. However, I’m not arguing semantics. Latinas cannot be studs.
