I consider myself a weirdmasc gay trans man and feel a lot of innate kinship with butch lesbians I know but there's been such a wedge driven I'm scared to really voice any of it. They'll talk about all the things they do that affirm them as butch and they're all so relatable but it's scary to try and voice any of it, I feel like I have more in common with a butch lesbian with their leather and jeans, carabineers and drag chivalry than I do with your average cis gay man

Okay first of all, "weirdmasc" is the best fucking word ever and thank you so much for adding this to my lexicon. #weirdmasc forever

Anyways, this reminds me of a post & ensuing conversation from a while ago. The post was a quote talking about how butch4butch relationships have borrowed heavily from gay male aesthetics due to the lack of models for relationships between two masc people in lesbian culture. This led to some discussion about how butch4butch relationships have likely been a way for gay/bi trans men to date each other & engage in gay masculinity, especially for those who didn't/couldn't identify as queer men. Basically, I think the way you feel makes a ton of sense; there's always been a connection between both butch lesbians and trans men and butch lesbians and (butch) gay men, so of course gay trans men are going to feel kinship with butch lesbians!

I'm sure there are some asshole butches who would throw a fit about it, but most butches who are normal and cool would appreciate your kinship. Queerness is, amongst other things, a lot about family and connection between different groups of weirdos.

“I need more faggy butches in my life. Faggy butch was good. It accurately described my pink button-down shirts, my giggles, the fact that I talk with my hands. I once saw a tape of myself in which I made a gesture that looked more like it belonged in A Chorus Line than in the middle of an interview. Faggy butch was like genderqueer—not quite this or that, a little of both, maybe. A friend once said to me, “I access my femininity through my masculinity.” I feel lucky to have grown up in a world with butch pioneers, and I feel lucky that I had an idea about what being butch might have meant. But instead of making me feel part of the community, these constructions of what butch was—stereotypes, really—pushed me away from the word and the identity. Instead, I chose a newer term, genderqueer, which had yet to be defined; it was in flux, it was a new frontier. I may not have been butch “enough,” but genderqueer was all mine to rewrite and redefine. I still like the word “genderqueer,” still claim it and own it and love the way it makes room for me, in all my complexities. But I’m coming back around to butch. Maybe it’s because the years of pink prom dresses are further and further behind me, maybe it’s because I’m learning from butch elders who talk in terms that make room for me, giggles and all. Maybe it’s also because the people I know have no idea (unless I tell them) that I was never a tomboy. They only know me—my short hair, tightly bound chest, and button-down shirts. I think every new generation feels the need to reject their elders, reject what came before them, and feel that they are the new gender rebels. We invent terms, we create new spaces, and sometimes, we come back to where our big brothers started—home.”

So, it’s that time again - time to get EDUCATED about buttfucking.

Honestly, anal’s my favorite. Can’t say why, but I just love the feeling of stuff being pushed inside my butt. NAH, it won’t make you gay. Lots of people like anal, and you’d be surprised by how many people you pass by on the street that can’t wait to get home and sit on their own favorite dildo. 

I tried to make this comprehensive, but it barely skims the surface of all the things you can do with a butt. If you have questions, just ask! Everyone has a different experience they’re probably eager to share.

[Image text: two tweets from orville perker @ literate_coyote. the first says “stone butch blues does not end with jess figuring out where exactly they fit between “butch lesbian” and “trans masc” but ends with them becoming a communist. organized labor and revolutionary politics is what saved them, not figuring out a specific identity. this is important.”

The second tweet says, “the book isn’t really about figuring out where you fit in this huge spectrum of labels (esp micro identities) but to find solidarity with workers like yourself, to organize along lines of shared needs like workplace safety or healthcare, because that’s how we get liberation.” End Text.]

i need everyone on this website who is not a butch to leave their house, meet at least 3 ACTUAL butches, and speak with them and attempt to understand their experiences. then and only then are you allowed to post anything related to butches lmao... sick of seeing posts about my identity by people who don't know SHIT about it. even half the positivity posts are like uwu i love how butches CRUSH ME INTO OBLIVION in bed i love how butches are SOULLESS ASSHOLES soft butches are BUTCHES BUT NICE

i'm a masculine woman with a complicated relationship to both masculinity and womanhood who dates/fucks women and catches the bugs for my wife, not a shehulk who beats up my partners???

at the very least, before posting about butches (ESPECIALLY if you're not a lesbian), consider this:

- we are not men. we are not "basically men" or "trans men in denial". we do not experience male privilege. this goes DOUBLE for trans butches.

- being butch is not about being violent or aggressive or cruel. if a butch is violent or aggressive or cruel, that's a character flaw, not a defining feature. some of us may be strong and intimidating and use that to protect others and ourselves but the key word there is PROTECT

- a LOT of us face enormous violence for being who we are. most of us face misogyny on a regular basis, from both men and gender conforming women. many of us have had our butchness shaped by misogyny

- butch fashion is one tiny facet of what makes us who we are. a straight girl wearing a collared shirt and slacks is not Butch

- some of us are nonbinary. some of us are cis. some of us are trans. some of us use different pronouns. some of us may have dysphoria. some of us may choose to take hormones or have surgery. some of us may feel no connection to womanhood outside of being a lesbian. none of these things make someone any less butch
