#transmasculine butch

[genderqueerdykes]

here's to trans men with anger issues. here's to trans men who are loud or raise their voices without realizing, neurodivergent or otherwise. here's to trans men who get irritable or frustrated or impatient easily due to trauma, neurodivergence, mental illness, pain, or other disabilities, here's to trans men who can't take care of themselves, here's to trans men who can't stuff down their emotions, here's to trans men with violent intrusive thoughts, here's to trans men who snap without meaning to, here's to paranoid and psychotic trans men who become scared or hostile toward others without causing violence due to delusions and hallucinations, here's to trans men who struggle with homicidal ideation

here's to trans men who are bitter and angry and don't want to get better, here's to trans men who have tried to recover from trauma and have failed, here's to trans men who can't access proper mental health care because they aren't taken seriously, here's to trans men with mental health care trauma, here's to trans men who cope poorly with anger and hit inanimate objects and do "scary" things that don't actually hurt other people physically or emotionally.

here's to trans men with complicated mental health issues who need help but get insulted and called mean, rude, scary, shitty, assholes, dicks, jackasses and abusers. here's to trans men being human, too, and struggling with things just like anyone else. that doesn't make us evil, we are heavily traumatized by cisheteronormative society. here's to trans men who don't hurt other people but get told they do because people won't let men struggle with their emotions. i love you. you're loved. keep your chin up.

Not masc4masc in the toxic cis gay man way but masc4masc as in loving butches and transmascs so so much and wanting to kiss their hands and foreheads and mou-

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 finally am getting an “x” on my enhanced license after moving and it honestly feels so damn good man.

Crafted flags I made a bunting (flags in line) from to wear at a local Pride event tomorrow!

Sapphillean means you're "gay"-attracted to people of similiar and different gender expressions as yourself. So, you kind of feel like a lesbian who kind of feels like a gay dude and stuff.

Transmasculine butch is my favorite of these so it's big... No need for explanations with this one!

Genderqueer to me means I relate to genders through gender-noncomformity. I've always vibed with this rather old term better than with 'nonbinary' tbh. Can mean a lot of things to different people.

Butch and Femboy are there due to the latter, - to me the whole point of being a man is to be a feminine one, and the whole point of being a woman is being a masculine one. (that's just for me personally, not smth I think of other people)

Androgyne is someone who sees their gender as being partially woman and partially a man. This is also descriptive of me, and lines neatly with the three previous ones.

There is also the generic Transgender flag with the pink and blue stripes reversed to communicate transmasculine transition in specific.

i love the sheer variety i see when i meet trans men, trans boys, transmasc butches, ftms and the transmasculine community. no two transmasculine people you meet are the same. you'll meet tough boys, soft men, guys who love makeup, people who dress like they're from a specific period in the past, proud butches, dudes who dress like freaks, dapper gentlemen, lesboys and lesbian men, goofy boydykes, silly bros and your best friend. the transmasculine community is rich in diversity and every person you meet has a lot to teach you about what masculinity and manhood mean

i want a bisexual girlfriend so bad

The person I like hasn't been with anyone and all I can think about is showing him how real men fuck .

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