freedom for butches whose highest desire isn't self-sacrifice. visibility for butches who don't want to be restrained chivalrous knights held in perpetual courtship by exalted fems. affection for butches that isn't based on our utility. acceptance of butches that isn't conditional on the state of perpetual usefulness we offer to the world to make up for not performing womanhood correctly.

love for butches who are as masculine as they are without restricting themselves to the aspects of masculinity you find nonthreatening. respect for butches who are kind of mannish and not "like a man but safer." acknowledgement of butches' humanity as individuals rather than accessories and background characters.

we take pride in our service but don't forget that some of that is because we have to.

I'm seeing so many posts pushing trans people to look more like normie cishet people in order to be fully transitioned. It feels like truscum are re-evolving. It feels like people are seeing any trans person being slightly gnc as a conspiracy against them.

If you don't support pre everything transfem butches you don't support trans people.

If you don't support pre everything transmasc femboys you don't support trans people.

If you don't support enbies who look like cis men or cis women but don't identify as men or women at all you don't support trans people.

idk how to say this properly as a femme, but like…..

there’s a big issue in the sapphic community of sexualizing butches in a super nonconsensual way.

my gf has been grabbed, shoved around, and groped by women who believe her very existence to be some sort of sexual invite. it’s gotten to the point that when we enter a gay space together, i have to be all over her, or else someone assumes something. she says she’s scared of giving compliments or being nice to women because it’s immediately taken as an aggressive come on.

and this isn’t just a straight women thing, i’ve seen SO MANY sapphic women pull this shit. online too. like, butches posting a non-sexual selfie and getting flooded with super intense sexual comments.

you’re being a creep. knock it the fuck off.

if you wanna fuck butches but you're not gonna tenderly care for them then you don't deserve them

yes, butch is a strong and “aggressive” term. that is the point. what is being a butch if not to be tough, to be seen as vile in the eyes of men who value your existence as nothing less than a threat to their masculinity, to fight against the system which portrays you as such beasts in the first place? it irks me the main people who speak venom on "butches" and the butch identity are lesbians who use the term masc to describe themselves or their lesbian peers, but will turn around and call themselves "girlypop" or "princesses". portray yourself how you want and there is nothing wrong with being in touch with your femininity/ feminine alignment, but what is masculinity to you? does it scare you when a lesbian is too masculine for your taste? do you not see the reasonable and very much needed defiance that comes with being a butch, being masculine or even as far as being perceived as a man, yet still clinging onto your lesbian identity despite it all? how can you live such a sheltered life in which "butches" are where you cross the line yet want to call yourself a supposedly proud dyke? you don't have to identify with the word butch. but you should at least be willing to understand and comprehend the importance and the value of such an identity in lesbian culture.

edit: don’t come on this post if you’re a terf/transphobe. trans women are women and I’ll kill everyone on this hill

happy lesbian visibility

[Image description. Two butches hold each other and share a kiss. One tugs the other closer by the carabiner attached to their jeans. Above them two carabiners interlock in a heart shape where the words “butch 4 butch” are written. End ID]

the documentary "the aggressives" about poc butches is on streaming and can be bought idk if that's useful or anything but i just watched it and thought it fit in here

It's totally useful, thanks for reaching out!! I've not had time to watch this one myself yet but it's high on the list for ... whenever I get a moment. I've heard really good things and all, and--oh shit it's free on Tubi ... HMMM. Okay. Well. I know what I have to see later lol. xD

But yes, anon is right--for those interested in seeing more butches of color, or just butches in general, please take a look at "The Aggressives"!

"The Aggressives" on Wikipedia. "The Aggressives" (free to watch!) on Tubi.
