Are you a femme who needs a mentor?

Are you new to identifying as a femme? Closeted?  Young?  Isolated? Or just need extra support?

Femmeffirmations is a BRAND NEW blog dedicated to finding established femme mentors for other femmes who need community.

All you need to do to request a mentor is send a message to the blog (link here).  In your request, just let us know what you’re looking for in a mentor (identity markers, age, location, etc).  Then you will receive short list of mentors we think might fit your needs best.  We are also going to publish all of the mentor info on the blog, so you can browse that way as well.  We will tag each mentor’s submission with markers that might make them easier to go through (examples might be dapper, ftm, poc, autistic, etc).

You can message as many mentors as you’d like (you can never have too many femmes!) Just make sure to reference Femmeffirmations, so they know that you found them through the mentorship program <3

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!  And remember, all of this can be completely anon if you’d like.  Just please make up a name so we can keep track of who we are talking to.

Femme Mentorship Program

This is a call for femmes on tumblr who are willing to serve as a mentor/guide/friend to younger/newly out/or isolated femmes.

I am looking for folks who are willing to be available for questions and conversation. 

I would like this group of mentors to represent the vast array of femme identities and intersections.  Trans* femmes, femmes of color, fat femmes, femmes with disabilities, femmes on the more dapper/more masculine side, working class femmes, femmes from countries other than America, and all femmes!

If you are interested in participating, please send me your blog name, your prferred name and pronoun (if you have one) and a short bio.  I am going to create a page on my blog that introduces all of the mentors.  I will also be giving out your information to those who request it.

If you can’t mentor but support this project, PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST.

And if you are looking for a supportive person to discuss your femme identity or life with, or just a caring person to reach out to, please request a mentor here.

THANK YOU.
