Ali elaborated on the intricacies of lesbian identities, explaining: 'In the lesbian community, you call lesbians like me, who are feminine-presenting, 'femmes'. You have femmes, mascs, studs.' This highlights the various ways in which individuals identify themselves within the community.
Ali emphasized the significance of self-identification with the term 'stud': 'A stud is a bit of a controversial label. You shouldn't really call someone a stud unless they self-identify as [such]. It's used by the Black community... it's very offensive. It's a Black woman who's masculine-presenting, basically.' This underscores the importance of respecting individual identities.
She further elaborated on the differences among various lesbian identities saying, 'Black-cat lesbians are essentially lesbian women who share traits with black cats: enigmatic, femme, but with a fierce side when needed.' This encapsulates the emotional depth and diversity within the community.
Ali playfully described her partner's personality in comparison: 'Golden retriever or labrador lesbians are very much the more-enthusiastic person in a partnership. They might wear their heart on their sleeve, be unashamed in telling you how they feel, and be easily trusting.' This comparison adds a relatable and humorous touch to understanding lesbian dynamics.
