saw a white girl in my city put "stud" in her bio and my friends are heated.
i use stud for myself. i'm Black. how do people usually explain that this one's culturally specific without getting into a whole facebook fight.

stud is Black (and often Latinx) masculine-of-center language. related to butch, not a free synonym. non-Black folks using it for themselves is usually not it.

butch / masc are right there. she can pick those. stud isn't a public domain aesthetic.

if you correct her once and she doubles down, that's your answer about her.

thanks for posting this. too many people treat every label like a fashion filter.
