This is me lately

[bog-dwelling-butch]

Yay I'm at the point where I decided the locations and pinned down every patch on my jacket and then put down pins and literally super glued them down because a lost pin is so sad lol

Next up is sewing down the patches and adding the studs around the big MCR patch 😍

I'm throwing in pics of my vest for the hell of it even tho it hasn't changed much recently, but I put a few more pins on it today too

[bog-dwelling-butch]

finally got the spoons to work on this and crafty-special-interest-dopamine is back

It's going to be star studs randomly placed amongst the spikes

The more I see lesbians who are anywhere under the trans umbrella the happier I am.

Since reading Stone Butch Blues at the start of this year,

Since following a bunch of they/them, he/him, she/they/he, nonbinary, trans, butch lesbians on here,

And watching a few interviews by Lynn Breedlove of Tribe 8,

I just feel like home, people like me exist, and people like me have existed for a while! I don't have to debate my identity with anyone, I just *am* some queer, gender-weird butch dyke 🌈

And if you don't like it: goodbye, don't bother me.

I finally finished this patch! Be proud of me because executive dysfunction is a bitch, I literally have had this sitting around as a sketch since August 30th of last year

I haven't posted my jacket in a while, here's where I'm at with spikes right now

I'm very excited that I've finished that top horizontal part, and the arrow is showing the line I plan to do next 🖤

Lately I've been feeling about my dyke-y butch-y genderqueer gender:

"I'm not a woman, but I'm not-not a woman"

And also

"I'm not a trans masc, but I'm not-not a trans masc"

I'm getting more and more confident all the time that that no one can define this shit but me and that's a great feeling 🎉

(and if you try to police my gender you can just fucking leave, you'll be wasting my time and your time)

[bog-dwelling-butch]

I really gotta stop fearing the scenario where someone tells me how I can and can't identify, some exclusionist, some terf... just fuck that

If I feel comfy being some freaky genderqueer bearded lesbian butch dykefag I can be damnit!

[bog-dwelling-butch]

Newest patches!

[bog-dwelling-butch]

Sooon!!

[bog-dwelling-butch]

Hopefully going back on a low dose of T soon, and hopefully I can over long chunks of time make a pattern of going off T and starting back up...

I just want to live as a shapeshifter, is that too much to ask?

Thinking of making a patch that is the genderqueer flag with the words "genderqueer menace" in reference to the transsexual menace shirt with the same font

[bog-dwelling-butch]

I love the new lesbian music popping up lately!!!!

I also love the older '90s dyke bands

I love when dykes make art and music AAAAAAAAAaahhhh 💕

When I started to read Kate Bornstein's Gender Outlaw I did a little bit of looking up about her

And after reading books by and about so many trans activists that when I looked them up they turned out to be dead by the time I started reading their books I am so absolutely thrilled to discover Kate Bornstein is alive 😭😭😭❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Saw a post talking about DIY in punk the other day and it mentioned using designs from shirts that don't fit anymore as a back piece (or maybe patches in general)

I have been previously using this fabric from an MCR shirt as a poster, but now I'm definitely turning it into a back piece 🖤

Ngl @dog-park-dissidents following me prompted me to look at their merch and buy their album 😁 I'm so excited to get this, it's a shame my record player's sitting in storage right now :P
