Miss UnderSTUD

Miss Understud is a confessional-style documentary that delves deep into the lives of Masculine Identifying Lesbians, affectionately known as "Studs". Throughout the film, viewers are taken on a journey to explore the intricate layers of societal norms that impact the stud community, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs faced by individuals in their quest for self-identity within this unique subgroup.

"The most common misconception is that women, who are not feminine, want to be men." Love that senior lady who said that. Very true.

[@TheRetroWoman80]

That older wise women is so comfortable with her stud self. What an inspiration! I'm glad her family was not homphobic. This entire doc was great to listen to and learn from. Beautiful diverse women. Keep living authentically😊😉

[@88Brilliant88]

I feel as a masculine woman we are disrespected more than anyone.. I personally feel we are exposed to a lot of negative situations unnecessarily just for being ourselves

[@dianabullock909]

I love it. I am a femme but it does seem like you guys have it rough.

[@88Brilliant88]

+Diana Bullock It's rough specifically interactions with black men.. rude comments, starring, or purposely trying to invade my space. Childish behavior

[@nicolemcqueen4338]

It's true. Black women are already at the bottom of the social hierarchy (not in actuality, but according to society) and its even easier to shit on us because people know no one will advocate for us. Honestly it makes people look childish as fuck, but somehow they get brownie points for it. Pure ignorance lol

[@trailhopper883]

How does it feel to all of you (us), to know that the vice president Mike Pence "wants to hang all of us" ?. Stay safe sisters. I get emails from men saying "they want to rape the gay outta me in the lord's name".

[@BrittBrattBossLady]

Trail Hopper That’s wild AF. I never wore men’s clothes and it’s partially because I knew men would be aggressive and hateful. This is because they hate the thought of women rejecting them, women not having the desire to fall at their feet and obey them, and women using masculinity and being a valid competitor for other women’s desire.

[@Rowe_Ti]

this was so needed man, even in popular media where they do show Lesbian couples but just two femmes and never a butch/stud, you start to feel lonely in this world, so this was so needed.

[@jasmineg532]

"If you see the me i wanna be, tell him i been looking for her!" I felt that💗😍💓 loved this.

[@adedi1440]

same, I had to pause and think about it. The video should have had that title 🧡

[@lauratheexplorer6390]

That was profound that bit ❤️

[@psingerman4778]

Really fine poetry.

The one with the tattoos all on her neck and the one with the gray sweater and purple scarf...🥴🥴 Where they at?! 🙌🏾🔥😍😍

[@taisingjenkins4194]

Girllll that one with the tatts 😜😜😍. They both fine though.

[@toothlessasmr8129]

Yaaasss!!

[@kimberlyjohnson2305]

This video really captured the dilemmas and pushes and pulls masculine women deal with. Really appreciate the cast and anyone who invested in making it happen.

[@Natasha-vo1li]

The poetry in the beginning was beautiful, and this documentary was put together so well. Thank you for sharing.

[@choicewordz928]

I just love seniors/ older people. That older lady is too adorable. 🥰

[@chefshiane]

What a gift Jackie was and still is to so many of us. I will love and miss her forever.

[@creativeuserneim]

She passed away? Wow I loved her in this doc, may she Rest in Power

[@ivysmith2794]

It's not easy being a stud, we are judged from we walk in the room, you don't even have to say or do ish. But I love being a stud, especially a stud who love to dress up, you can hate on me but you can't say that I'm ugly

[@HomemakerDaze]

My ex gf got beat up, the guy thought she was a guy, once she spoke, he was like omg sorry sorry miss and gave her back her stuff 😒

[@mizzKarenbabii]

This was a really good and well thought out documentary. it is so hard to find a good black lgbt docs and movies.

[@LuckyBadger]

This film is so incredibly well done! As an old school femme, I SEE you studs and butches, and I love each and every one of you. My only complaint is that y'all are too shy to come over and talk to me! 😍🥰🤩

[@rudey1016]

Love that beginning poem

[@sherrydashiell2408]

Great documentary!!!! I am a 55 year old proud stud. I can relate to a lot of to these studs in a lot of ways especially the bathroom thing lmao😀😀😀😀

[@ikeawilliams3877]

Nah because that poem in the beginning just told my WHOLE life tho!!! Thank you for this. I thought I was alone 🙏🏾

[@ShaniTheBurningTree]

I lived straight knowing gddamn well I was a lesbian. Now I’m out and I feel the urge to dress more casual or masculine but I’m undoubtedly femme. It’s me. Not my clothes. Love me. I’ll love you. Feed you breakfast and do your hair and hold your hand. I’ll adore your brown skin and coily locks: we can talk about misogyny and colorism and I’ll adore you. Anyone. Anyone.

[@pointpleasant6708]

I loved the wisdom and presentation of the older woman. She was secure with herself. But many of these woman were also secure with themselves.

[@kgnice89]

This was slept on. I enjoyed it

[@taylarmichelgatson3672]

Feel so seen and relatable through the opening MC's confession that it is heavy in both the self expressions of relief and pain simultaneously. Highly appreciate her words nonetheless.

[@tmith831]

I just want to say this is one of the DOPEST pieces of journalism, windows to the soul in it's rawest form that I have had the pleasure of encountering ❤️ as a femme coming out at 15 I've always wanted to tell my story and what femmes face in this world and this has TOTALLY INSPIRED me to be that voice. Y'all did that 👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 and having dated studs that go through this I applaud you all for bringing this TRANSPARENT TRUTH😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘 And that beginning poem???!!!!!! My GOD!!! AMAZING!!!!!!

[@AdamLMcMath]

Thank you so much!

[@TheCasu305]

The intro poem was profound! Thanks.

[@tex1622]

This femme loves her some stud, what can I say? Hot! And great doco. As an aussie, it's interesting to see the similarities and differences between American and Australian butch/stud culture.

[@amarushekuku]

Drow flow killed it. Her story when she was 9 stood out more to me.

[@jenellegriles7731]

Good documentary I appreciate the insight 😊

[@CoolBreezeMediaAtlanta]

What are your thoughts about the interest het men have in studs? This is an open trend I am seeing.

[@OliverNorth9729]

*We neeeeed more stud BW!!*

[@lordessvorenus7948]

44:38 i agree with this chick. not sure if people think this is just in the black comunity but in general i do think is true. nature tries to balance out whats missing by taking whats already there. men acting more feminine, women acting more masculine. depending on whats needed in that place

[@psychoticserenity2588]

Yes I agree. Joanna's analysis looks pretty deep into it & I think quite a lot of her "evolution theory" is spot on..it makes perfect sense to me. Though I imagine many ppl would be super offended by it lol.

[@louellarobertson8074]

I LIKE YOU JACKIE...MATURED AND SO FREAKING SMOOTH...

What happened to butch and bulldaggar?

[@michelleb6935]

Norman Charles that’s for the white lesbians lol but facts!

[@Brynwyn123]

They're more white labels, stud is a black label. At least historically. Butch is also more specific to the butch/femme subculture than just presentation
