The book below Pageboy is Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H.
I can recommend it.

This is real parents' choice, not the BS “Parents choice for mine AND yours” that Mommy Fascism League supports.
The 51 kids should not dictate what books/media the other 29,949 have access.

Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg
Tumblr media
"Stone Butch Blues," Leslie Feinberg’s 1993 first novel, is considered in and outside the U.S. to be a groundbreaking work about the complexities of gender. Feinberg was the first theorist to advance a Marxist concept of “transgender liberation.” Sold by hundreds of thousands of copies, passed hand-to-hand inside prisons, the novel has been translated into Chinese, Dutch, German, Italian, Slovenian, Turkish, and Hebrew--with earnings from that edition going to ASWAT Palestinian Gay Women--and won the 1994 American Library Association Stonewall Book Award and 1994 Lambda Literary Award. Feinberg said in hir Author’s Note to the 2003 edition: "Like my own life, this novel defies easy classification. If you found 'Stone Butch Blues' in a bookstore or library, what category was it in? Lesbian fiction? Gender studies? Like the germinal novel 'The Well of Loneliness' by Radclyffe/John Hall, this is a lesbian novel and a transgender novel—making ‘trans’ genre a verb, as well as an adjective."
Once xyr regained her rights to the book, Leslie Feinberg made the ebook available for free permanently at https://www.lesliefeinberg.net/

Hijab Butch Blues: A Memoir
Lamya H
When fourteen-year-old Lamya H realizes she has a crush on her teacher--her female teacher--she covers up her attraction, an attraction she can't yet name, by playing up her roles as overachiever and class clown. Born in South Asia, she moved to the Middle East at a young age and has spent years feeling out of place, like her own desires and dreams don't matter, and it's easier to hide in plain sight. To disappear. But one day in Quran class, she reads a passage about Maryam that changes everything: When Maryam learned that she was pregnant, she insisted no man had touched her. Could Maryam, uninterested in men, be . . . like Lamya? From that moment on, Lamya makes sense of her struggles and triumphs by comparing her experiences with some of the most famous stories in the Quran. She juxtaposes her coming out with Musa liberating his people from the pharoah; asks if Allah, who is neither male nor female, might instead be nonbinary; and, drawing on the faith and hope Nuh needed to construct his ark, begins to build a life of her own--ultimately finding that the answer to her lifelong quest for community and belonging lies in owning her identity as a queer, devout Muslim immigrant. This searingly intimate memoir in essays, spanning Lamya's childhood to her arrival in the United States for college through early-adult life in New York City, tells a universal story of courage, trust, and love, celebrating what it means to be a seeker and an architect of one's own life.

I have created a doc sharing descriptions and recommendations for butch4butch books, including romance, literary fiction, historical fiction, manga, graphic novels and sci-fi/fantasy. This list is incomplete, and is still being updated regularly.
With full transparency, some of these books may not be "explicit" in their representation, but I have still included them because to my understanding, they include two butch or masc lesbians in a relationship. I have not, however, included books like Gideon the Ninth, where the author themselves have clarified that they don't see one half of the pairing as butch.
If anybody has issues or recommendations, kindly dm me here, and be civil about it. Hope you enjoy this list and find something to your taste. I will keep refining and updating the doc, as I read more.
If you want to toss a coin to a silly butch, here's my ko-fi.
