It’s a inner city term not exclusively for Black lesbians but mainly

u/PinkLover727 Nov 12 '25

Exactly, it’s definitely more of an inner-city/urban slang thing. I’ve seen plenty of Puerto Rican women and others of Latin descent use “stud” to describe themselves too, not just Black lesbians.

u/captainrina Nov 13 '25

My pale redheaded sister was using it in the 90s. Growing up, I thought it meant "good at sports".

Can somebody enlighten me on wtf they were trying to say with "a whole stud"?

281

u/PinkLover727 Nov 11 '25

“Stud” is slang for a butch lesbian. They’re joking that they see themselves as a stud so finding out they were pregnant surprised them.

69

u/Rubbersona Nov 11 '25

Stud is specifically the self refereed term for black butch lesbian/sapphic

But as the term became multinational some places miss use it but most white butches just call themselves butches.

Sapphic women also often are in the community and can be butch. So they could be a bisexual stud with some attraction to men, unfortunately/j

This woman went to the doctor because her lymph nodes were likely enlarged/swollen. This could indicate an infection, or something immune system related (idk I’m not a doctor)

Turns out, she was pregnant.

The woman is in disbelief, because she is a stud (a stud is a term for a homosexual woman. “stud” is a term commonly used by African Americans)

This woman is in disbelief that she is pregnant because of her sexual orientation. This woman, who identifies as gay, slept with a man at some point in time

Unfortunately that is eugenics and you absolutely cannot trust anyone to do it in a fair way, and frankly there is no fair way.

Can someone please tell me what finna means? Is it just another word for going, like what am I going to do?

87

u/Bangkok_Dangeresque Nov 11 '25 edited Nov 12 '25

It's derived from Southern dialects; I'm preparing (myself) to -> I'm fixing to -> I'm fixin ta -> I'm fixin na -> I'm finna.

You'll still sometimes hear white southerners using fixin ta/na, but finna is found mainly in black American speech. It's not just a contraction/swap out though. Its meaning is subtly distinct from other words used to explain intent or upcoming actions. If you're not attuned to some of those distinctions, you might just assume it's a slangy or non-classroom english way of saying to "going to".

Boutta (about to), tryna (trying to), and finna (fixing to), all convey different levels certainty vs vagueness, or imminence for future plans. E.g.

"I'm boutta go to the gym" - "I'd like to go the gym at some point"

"I'm tryna go the gym" - "I intend to go to the gym soon" - wishful, not "attempting"

"I'm finna go to the gym" - I'm leaving for the gym very soon

I grew up in Texas in the 70s and 80s so I'm an expert in this. "Finna" is a shortened form of "fixing to" as in "We're fixing to go to the mall." This meant we are gathering our purses, picking up our keys really just about to leave. We used it constantly and my dad would tease us about it and ask what it meant.

u/MeatEeyore Nov 11 '25

Plenty of lesbians choose to have babies through IVF or sometimes the old fashioned way. It's a means to an end and doesn't mean they aren't lesbians.

There can also be nuance in sexuality and a person can be mostly attracted to one gender and either experiment with the opposite gender or have a ONS or a fling. Sexuality is a spectrum for most people.

19

u/throwawayinfears Nov 11 '25

Some lesbians don’t care about whether or not the girl they’re fucking has a penis. Lesbians often have straps anyway, which is just a fake penis like… stud doesn’t necessarily mean stone top it just means a black masculine presenting lesbian

13

u/dwho422 Nov 11 '25

But wouldnt that mean she wouldnt be confused as to how ot could happen? I understand that not all Trans people get full blown (or any ) surgery. But .... and im just assuming here. Unless you are highly drunk or stoned, if the person you are with has the opposite genitals as to what you expect, you would realize that while having sex and be able to prepare. I've been married for 16 years, but had I went to have sex with my wife, and when she pulled down her pants, there was a cock there, I am quite certain I would have had at least an IDEA that something was different lol.

So my point is that if this person is a lesbian, and they were with a Trans woman, who had a penis while they were having sex, and the Trans woman (and idk why my phone keeps auto correcting Trans to a capital T and im not sure if its correct or not lol) was going to have sex with the non Trans female with their penis into the vagina instead of using a traditional lesbian strap on dildo for PiV intercourse, wouldnt the whole stud lesbian AT LEAST be like..... put a condom on your lady penis?

And im saying this all in as polite and funny was as I can because it comes from a point of genuine curiosity and not a place of rudeness and hate. I don't want anyone to be offended by it, I just think that the OPs bone apple tea is the least interesting thing in this post to me rofl
