Do you have any resources or tips for young butches? Especially on how to support your fellow butches and queers and butch history? <3

My biggest tip is to read lit by butches and follow tons and tons of butches online. Leslie feinberg, Alison Bechdel, Gayle Rubin, and many more have great reading resources on the butch experience. Some Instagram accounts I like that center butches/butchness are butchisnotadirtyword, butchanarchy, lemonliupress, and renstrapp.

Finding other butches to connect with, especially older ones will really help you. My therapist is also butch, and she helps me tremendously to guide me through my identity and life. If you have any specific questions, such as finding the right harness/strap for you, how to find masculine clothing, hard packing and binding questions, or anything else at all, don’t ever hesitate to ask! I may not know the answer but I can always direct you to other people who have lived experience regarding certain things.

#anon #i can obviously list more people to check out and follow but this is a good starting point #also I don’t have experiencing hard packing or soft packing #but I know people who do #and I currently only bind occasionally #however I have figured out my own wardrobe so I can always share outfit pics and links to items that fit me well #but yea!!! just be there and be proud because being butch can feel isolating but it doesn’t have to! #being butch is a wonderful thing to be :’) #from one butch to another I love you

“The public bathroom is a gauntlet every butch must run. As I entered the women’s room at the back of the McDonald’s, two elderly ladies were on their way out. One of them was struggling with her walker as her counterpart washed and dried her hands. I did my best to slip by them and into a stall, afraid of kickstarting a ‘This is the women’s room’ confrontation I didn’t have time to finish. “Let her by,” the hand-drying woman goaded as I edged past, “...she looks so nice.” “She does,” her friend answered, a kind murmur of approval that warmed me from my blistered toes to my blush-reddened ears. I laughed in my stall, calling a surprised “...thank you”, their way as they exited. I looked at my reflection before leaving the bathroom, an unstoppable grin emblazoned on my face. I chuckled again as I lifted my briefcase back onto my shoulder, emboldened and elated by the women’s unexpected reaction. I checked myself out in the mirror one last time, snapping a quick picture to show my friend. I looked good.“ - @lenadoubleyou - Issue 5, The Work Edition. 📸 by @esthergoodboy . . #butch #butchisnotadirtyword #brooklyn #brooklyngay #newyork #newyorkgay #gaynewyork #portrait #portraitphotography #environmentalportraits #dyke #dykestowatchoutfor #lesbiansofig #lesbiansofinstagram (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0jVis3BAt0/?igshid=4gxvf7sapt6m

Can we please get less skinny hipster “androgynous” kids in stripy shirts and a lot more older queer bodys with grey hair and good jeans. I’m so tired of the same people that look nothing like me.

Feeling a bit more confidence tonight. I'd like to give a shout-out to the people I've recently found on here who have really helped out with that a lot. Even if they don't realize it or it was only in the smallest of ways. Confidence as a butch/dyke lesbian can be hard to find nowadays and I'd just like to say thank you.

Thank you so much for blogging all you do. It means the world to this butch shorty right here ☺️

“I came out to my family by letting them know I was moving in with her. We had to buy new sheets because we’d both been sleeping in single beds at our parent’s places. We got a Ninja Turtles double quilt set and based the colour scheme of our linen around it. When we bought a washing machine we made a fort out of the box. We painted it and made a periscope with those little make-up mirrors I no longer used. We got pet rats and named them after song lyrics. We pinned her first attempt at pancakes to the noticeboard in our share house. She got that motorcycle and didn’t even make me feel bad when I dropped it. She wrote poetry on post it notes. We danced in the kitchen.” - Katie Morrison recounting her first butch 4 butch romance as a baby dyke. 😢 they grow up so fast! . . Read the rest in Issue 4, The love and sex edition.
