#mspec butch

[lastoneout]

I need my mspec butches to know that there are men out there who will stop fucking breathing when you walk into a room and get a stupid giddy smile when you talk about how you want to look more masc and worship the fucking ground your boots walk on like you need to know this. Don't think you have to give up your masculinity bcs you're in love with a cis guy trust me the right cis guy will fall to fucking pieces bcs he can see the collar of your white tank top when you unbutton your shirt and you deserve NOTHING!! LESS!!

People who think our butchness just goes away when we date men bcs they think no cis man could ever crumble to dust at the sight of a confident butch are WEAK. There is a Gomez Addams out there for you, believe me, if and when you find him you are going to get so full of yourself off the high of his endless compliments that you could fucking kill god.

I love you mspec butches. Don't fucking settle, and flex on the pathetic losers who can't see how incredible it is to have a man love you and your glorious masculinity with his whole goddamn heart.

I’m gonna be completely honest, I don’t care if masculinity makes you uncomfortable. I don’t care if you don’t like that trans men take t and that makes you uncomfortable. I don’t care if you don’t like men talking about how much they love men because men make you uncomfortable. I don’t care if you don’t like that I mascs about their experiences because in your eyes they’re “privileged” for being masculine. I don’t care if “ugly” or “aggressive” looking masculine people make you uncomfortable. I don’t care if masculine people in queer spaces makes you uncomfortable. Masculine people have every right to be where they want and do what they want, even if it makes you uncomfortable. Because that is you problem. Masculine people will always be a part of the queer community and welcome in queer spaces, and if you have a problem with that then you can take it up with the bears and the butches.

honestly as a butch, i just gotta say it: that "chivalrous knight in shining armor" crap is objectifying as hell and it's not fun, cute, or validating to apply to us, it provides a burden for us to bear, it makes us paranoid, tired, weary and feel like we're being reduced to a stereotype, or like we're being forced into a mold.

i'm not a knight just because i'm a transmasculine person who looks tough and can theoretically protect femme queers. i'm literally just standing here, being transsexual. i'm not inherently "chilvarous," i don't have any obligation to protect people just because i adopted the label "butch". what if i'm weak? what if the butch needs to be protected? what if the butch is disabled, traumatized, or just scared? i'm a wheelchair user.

why can't femmes protect their butches? why does it always have to be the butch being the chivalrous knight in our yearning posts and poems? why do we have to weave a performative ass narrative of the masculine partner swooping in to protect their defenseless feminine partner? how the HELL is this progressive or subversive at all? this is literally reinventing the binary.

the way the (white) cis lesbian community treats its butches is alienating as all hell. we are not here just to protect other people. we are not inherently protectors. we are not all strong. we are allowed to be weak. we are allowed to be scared. we are allowed to be hurt. we don't HAVE to protect our femmes, if we like femmes at all. not every butch is attracted to femme people in the first place.

butch isn't a lifestyle, it's not a set personality type. it's not a specific set of actions; it's just queer masculinity, that can be expressed by a multitude of queers for a multitude of reasons. it's not one specific set of traits. masculinity is not just found in protecting others and acting tough, it's also in being soft, vulnerable, weak and tender.

just let butches be people, don't turn us into objects before we even get out of the gates. all of this removes the human element of being butch. if the queer community can't afford that, we can't get it from anywhere, because we sure as hell aren't seen as humans by cisheteronormative society.

don't force me to see myself as a knight when i'm the one who needs help just because i'm masculine, or just because i'm a man.

butches need help, too.

dear lesboy (and tbh any other nuanced identity) exclusionists who think your vein of thought is the majority in queer spaces id like to inform you that today at lunch with my (entirely queer) friend group the topic drifted to me being a butch lesbian and one friend goes "wait i thought you were a guy?" and i said "i am" and another friend interjected "dudes can be lesbians too" and that was that. no further probing about my identity, nohing about how im "invalidating transmen and lesbians", or whatever. everyone just accepted that thats how i identify and i dont owe an explanation for it and moved on. i promise u its not that deep 👍

"Lesbian means exclusive attraction to women!"

"No, it means non-men exclusively attracted to non-men!"

"It actually means queer attraction to women!"

"Lesbian means women and nonbinary people being exclusively attracted to other women and nonbinary people!"

Lesbian is a multifaceted label that can describe many different experiences. There is no one perfect definition of lesbian that will encompass the entire diverse experiences that lesbians can have.

I'm personally a genderqueer woman who's exclusively attracted to other women, but the lesbian next to me might be a transmasc lesbian who loves all genders except for men. And the lesbian next to them might be a bigender lesbian who's both a girl and a boy, who's exclusively attracted to women. Our experiences can all be described by the term lesbian if that's how we wish to describe it, but we might define it differently based on our own experiences. And guess what?

None of our definitions are wrong, but none of our definitions will encompass every other lesbian's experiences. A word can have multiple definitions without any of the definitions being wrong. And those definitions can be very vague or very specific. Labels are made to fit us- we aren't made to fit labels.

People who may have a different experience with the lesbian label are not your enemies. People in lesbian spaces who aren't exactly like you are not your enemies. The problem comes when you try to force one singular definition on every single lesbian. THAT is harmful. Sending death threats to other lesbians because they don't have the same experience as you is harmful. Not another lesbian having a different experience from you.

here's to every bisexual who has had their bisexuality policed. here's to every bisexual whose defintion of bisexuality differs from people who try to define it for them. here's to every bisexual who gets told they're just straight. here's to every bisexual who gets denied access to queer spaces because they "look straight" or they're "in a straight relationship." here's to every bisexual gay and lesbian. here's to every bisexual butch and femme. here's to every bigender and genderfluid bisexual who has their identity questioned because of one or more of their genders. here's to every trans bisexual person whose bisexuality comes into question when they come out or start transition. here's to every bisexual who gets told they're bisexuality is "incorrect". here's to every bisexual who gets told their idea of bisexuality is actually pansexuality and they'd be better off identifying that way instead. here's to every bisexual of color who has their bisexuality questioned due to racism.

here's to every bisexual.
