Femme is a queer identity, though, and I only speak for myself here but I’d rather it remain a queer thing. There is a way to do it as an ally but that way should still center queerness and is something you’d have to be very careful about, I think. Like, there could be a flag color for allies?

OK. Lol at the white people thing. But I hate to break it to this person but, a LOT of people wear nail polish. It's not a queer only event. And while I can understand wanting to have something as queer only, it's a bit late to get on that horse. Nail polish colors aren't some queer only shades. You are not making some great statement, YOU ARE JUST PAINTING YOUR NAILS. BADLY.

And I say this as a queer person.
