what is the definition of butch? i’m transmasc genderqueer and bi (leaning toward women) and i have been questioning if im comfortable using the term/if im “allowed to”.

It depends on the butch! generally, it's about how you present yourself in most aspects. It's not just dressing masculine, or being attracted to/in relationships with women, it's about subverting the norms of what masculinity and exploring it in ways that go against the norm or what you should do.

Butchness is inherently queer, so I would say if your masculinity doesn't fit the way men's does, or even other queer masculine people that don't use the butch label, and you find you relate to other butches, I would say feel free to explore that and identify that way!

There isn't really a definitive box or ancient handbook I can point to; it all really is subjective, the same way genderqueerness or bisexuality is. The way you experience those other aspects of your life is unique to you! But generally, I would say butchness is about how you present yourself and feel.

As a personal note: my butchness is informed by my lesbianism, my transmasculinity/genderqueerness, intersexuality and other things. Being butch is about bodybuilding and growing out my locs, it's about yapping to my femme about our interests and having deep talks with my dad, it's about dressing in ways where people can't tell if you're a girl or a boy and being both and neither at the same time, and so much more.

But that's just me. I encourage other butches (especially trans/intersex/genderqueer butches!!) To reblog and share their experiences with being butch and what it means to you!

I would also recommend reading Stone Butch Blues, Butch Is A Noun, and going through @/genderqueerdykes's blog, all three have helped me a ton in figuring stuff out for myself! (And, the authors of both books are/were genderqueer/transmasculine, I'm not sure if S. Bear Bergman still identifies as butch but seeing his perspective on it through the lense of transmasculinity is really interesting, both can be found online for free, I'll try to find links for them soon!)

I hope this at least pushes you in the right direction of finding the language that makes you feel at home, anon.

I ate this boy out for 4 hours the other day and he rewarded me with Denny's genuinely I don't think I've ever felt more appreciated

Once again, I am pleading that those queers stop acting like butches are inherently predatory and hypersexual.

Always there to be my princess’s gentlemen @etherealemeraldprincess 🥺

As a butch I feel like there's a thing happening especially on tiktok with baby gays where lesbian/sapphic terms are being used incorrectly, not only that but they seem to think they're similar to the gay/achillian terms. They use terms such as bear, twink, wolf and otter to describe body type. We use terms such as butch, stem and femme to describe gender expression.

Butches and femmes come in all shapes and sizes, they're not just skinny white women with long hair. Butches and femmes come in all kinds of fucky gender identities and expressions, they're not just tomboys and "straight passing" women. They can be skinny cis white women with long hair, but that's not all of us - fat hairy he/him butch dykes in leather gear are the crutches of the community.

I love being a butch, it's been so freeing to accept things about myself that I never would have without the proper knowledge of queer and sapphic history. I love femmes of all kinds, I'm here to cater and be a gentleman in whatever why they need me and in return I get taken care of by a lady but none of it is in a heteronormative way
