How do I find a femme in the wild (without a dating app)?

The first thing is to attend events that lean heavily LGBT etc. They don’t have to be ONLY gay events like Pride or PFLAG meet ups but places where lesbians have a presence. It might sound stereotypical but animal rescue or welfare non profits and their fundraisers are often lesbian heavy. Non profits that service the elderly, kids charities or social service organizations can lean to the lesbian side as well. Women in general, and for some reason lesbians, are involved in social services in high rates.
Check Meet up or Facebook for Lesbian events or social gatherings.
Women’s festivals or small concerts in local venues that feature women or lesbian singers will have a bit turn out of lesbians in most cities. If you have a small theatre in your town make a suggestion for a lesbian singer. Many of the smaller venues will reach out and book lesser known artists that are requested if the artist is available. Sometimes they just don’t know about women’s music.
Listen to your instinct and check your hunch.
If you feel that a woman is a femme look for a labrys, rainbow, double Venus or other symbol that femmes will often employ to confirm your reaction. It can be clothing, jewelry or tattoos. They can be quite creative in what signals they use to make themselves known.
Use eye contact and a smile. That can be a sure indicator if they hold you eyes and smile or even nob back. At the worst you are wrong. Most women, even if straight, are flattered to be seen as attractive so if you show interest and they say “no” be gracious and move on. Women appreciate that kindness.
The Femmes are out there looking. Don’t be afraid to take a chance and say hi, especially at an event who demographic is mostly women.
i know they took these bird banding photos of house sparrows like this in order to show the difference between male and female but it just looks like someone’s using them as dolls for a bird marriage
When I say "Birds are Dinosaurs" and you say "No you know what I mean, when we say dinosaurs we mean Something Else" I think like... you don't know what I mean.
There's sort of a constructed category of dinosaurs as these scaly, powerful, outdated animals, and birds as these delicate modern animals, and I want you to understand that these ideas are based on outdated science and human biases. That birds can and have grown huge and predatory, that dinosaurs were a hugely diverse group that had grazers and small arboreal animals and fast intelligent ones.
Birds are a category of dinosaur, the only one we have left around. Appreciate them, demythologize dinosaurs, and destroy the boxes you put nature into.
