#tomboy butch

[blessedscavengers]

happy butch appreciation day to all my fellow butches!

when I was teaching an art class I had one of the kids I was teaching come up to me and ask if I was an adult tomboy and then proceeded to tell me about her friend who is also a tomboy and I thought that was quite possible the cutest thing a kid ever said to me and also describes my gender pretty well since kids don’t tend to know about butch as an identity

We talk a lot about the importance of seeing older butches, ring of keys moments, being a young tomboy and seeing that you don't have to conform when you grow older, or maybe you were more conforming as a little girl but realised you had the freedom to be different, or how important it is as a butch to be a sign to the next generation of little girls that they too have the opportunity to grow up like you. But I think it is also nice to state how nice it can be to be a grown butch and see a young tomboy out in public.

Earlier today my girlfriend and I saw two girls who were getting bubble tea at the same place as us, maybe 12-14 years, and it made me so happy to see that one of them was a tomboy, and it made me think of how important I actually find it to see young tomboys out in public. It does make me happy and fond to see a young tomboy, sometimes she reminds me of myself as a little girl, but often it is just great to see different ways of being a tomboy. Maybe she'll grow up into a butch, maybe not, it doesn't matter. Just as it is good to experience that there's been tomboys before me, it is also good to experience that there will be young tomboys after me as well.

Okay, let's make something crystal clear.

Her? She is NOT a butch dyke! She is a tomboy!

THIS is what a real butch dyke looks like!!!

Really awesome how every trans fantasy comic has the characters become very visibly feminine and start wearing dresses and lots of pink. It's really great that they never turn out butch or clocky or deep voiced or have stubble or look like me at all. It's better that they're all cute, thin femmes, actually.
