Are septum piercings gay
Why the loss of septum piercings as a queer femme signifier takes away our safety
There comes a time in the lives of many queer people when they expect to be confident enough to approach potential romantic partners in public. For queer femmes who are attracted to other femmes, this can be significantly challenging due to difficulties with outwardly expressing queer identity.
Heteronormativity creates a planet where everyone is straight until assumed otherwise.
This means feminine presenting people are often perceived as straight, and this can be frustrating when they want to romantically approach another femme, build a society of other homosexual people, or simply express a key part of their identity.
Many femmes leave through the journey of attempting to ‘butch themselves up’ by trying a more masculine presenting wardrobe in an attempt to be outwardly queer and lean into stereotypes. But this tends to be futile due to the age-old desire of just wanting to be yourself.

Forum Rules Piercings hold been popular in homosexual cultures for longer than I have been alive, and have been an important part of my life for about as long as I hold known I am homosexual. As soon as I started interacting with other queer people in my life more and became a part of the community, I noticed that piercings were very familiar to see in gay groups and loved them at first sight. The freedom to express oneself in whatever way makes you feel most relaxed in your own body is something that I heavily appreciate the universe of, and that is what I see piercings doing for people. Gender confirmation is a big reason piercings intertwine with lgbtq+ culture, which will generally be most noticeable in transgender communities, but can apply to cisgender individuals as well. For cis women, a pair of nipple piercings or a clitoral hood piercing might make her feel linked to her womanhood, and give her another way to express an appreciation for the body she has.
