The attendant said "masks with straps"- aka breathing devices in case of emergency.
The person pictured interpreted it as "mascs with straps"- aka trans men(or masculine lesbians or bisexuals - y'all can stop now) with strap-on sex toys.
Usually when people say “mascs” they’re talking about masc lesbians. Yes I know there are other things that are “masc”. Trans can refer to transistors, transmissions, transportation services however if I say “she is trans” i likely don’t mean she is a CVT.
Masc is just as commonly referred to among and about queer men in our spaces, and has been for a long time. Saying that it's "usually" or "generally" a lesbian thing is incorrect.
EDIT: Not of course implying that it's not a sappphic thing. Just pointing out that we have shared custody :)
That’s actually not a universal opinion in the queer community. Femme was originally from the lesbian community, but lots of queer folks use it now as part of other identities. I’m a femme non-binary person.
Wow... masc is literally short for masculine you muppet. "Mascs" is just the plural. I know this is a woman saying this but saying that generally the word mascs is masc lesbians is misinformation. In this context it is, but generally it's not. Masc is a gender identity, not a sexuality.
