I love being a soft butch, I love my soft stomach and logo shirts. I love butches with floppy hair and shorts who exist between boyhood and lesbian love. I love butch lesbians who write in journals and lie in fields looking like they belong in another time. I love butch lesbians who go by he, they, she and a number of other pronouns and like being called boy or boyfriend, or man. I love short butches who feel like their chest is pecs and wear sports bras and board shorts to the beach. I love embodying these ideals and hoping other butches spot me. I love being out in public in my dungarees and being checked out by other butches. I love reading about our shared history in stone butch blues and recognising myself for the first time. I love butches who are trans, I love butches who aren't trans but see their GNC experiences in our struggles. I love middle aged butches on tiktok who make videos giving the young folks some wisdom.

Unlearning seeing sex as binary actually does so much for my dysphoria. I definitely need to medically transition, but it's hell of a lot easier to tell the difference between my true desire and linear expectations of transition when I remember that some typically male presenting men have chests like mine, whether through fat or gynaecomastia, and some men are as short as me and have as high voices as me. Some men's bodies are shaped exactly like mine. And some of those men are trans. And some of those men are cis.

I beat myself up because I don't fit the ideal hegemonic masculine beauty standard, and I think that's because I'm trans. But there's cis guys out there feeling insecure for the exact same reasons— short, high voice, wide shoulders, small feet, small hands, small dick. We're not so different.

I think I'm exiting the place of needing to know I'm like cis guys in order to feel justified and valid. But what is still important to me is how arbitrary our sex boundaries can be sometimes. What got me started thinking about it was how not only is controlling who can go in bathrooms violently transphobic, but it always enforces a standard of women's beauty that will exclude both cis and trans women. Any cis woman with polycystic ovarian syndrome who happens to be considered too hairy to be a proper woman gets excluded. Hell, sometimes people are like me, and are trans masc and identify as both lesbian and as a man, but you know what? I don't pass as a man, I'm pre everything and I'd rather use the women's room because the men's room is guaranteed to be gross and also not safe for me. So I'm gonna use the women's bathroom, and I started having people try to chuck me out of there when I was fourteen. Back then my family had no inkling I was trans but I fully looked like a teen testosterone-puberty-expectant boy.

Sex being binary is as bullshit as gender being binary, we just have a lot less people willing to admit that, and gloss over how similar the experiences are of trans people within their preferred gender and other people who hit multiple aspects of not being a man/woman in the "right" way.

i have been trying for like. months to explain how the relationship between butch lesbians and trans men is not something akin to polar opposites and this is all i got. like it's not like this:

it's a venn diagram with a massive overlap in the middle. i'm not saying EVERY butch is a trans guy and EVERY trans guy is a butch dyke , i'm just saying it looks more like this:

these are not "mutually exclusive" terms- they do not mean the same thing, but we can be the same people, an very often are. there is a long history of butches who identify as FTM, trans men, drag kings, genderqueer, genderfluid, transmasculine, male, polygender, and two-spirit lesbians, and so much more. the relationship between lesbianism and queer masculinity is inseparable and the only people telling you that butches and trans men need to violently separate from one another and be at each other's throats are terfs. even if we do not share identities, we share our struggle together as heavily misunderstood and unseen masculine queers.

we stand up for each other when our identities get confused by strangers, and we get misgendered. we stand up for each other when terfs and terfpilled people tell us that transmasculine people and men can't be lesbians, when people say "butches just want to be men", when people say "butches aren't real women", when people call each of us bull dykes and trannies, when people mock the way FTMs walk and talk and look, and when people tell trans men they're "just butch dykes in denial". we stand up for each other and understand each others struggles.

whenever a butch lesbian asserts they're a woman no matter how masc they are, whenever a trans man asserts that they are a man and not a butch, whenever a butch struggles to be seen as both a man and a lesbian, and whenever a trans man returns to the lesbian community while embracing their manhood, we are part of the same community, we share the same struggles, and we owe it to each other to stay strong.

we are not enemies. we are bedfellows, lovers, family, spouses, partners, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, siblings, friends, each others support networks, even if we don't share identities perfectly. whether you are butch and a woman, butch and a man, butch and something else entirely, a male, ftm, genderfluid, polygender, genderqueer, transmasculine, nonbinary, two-spirit or whatever else you may be lesbian, you are part of our family and your experience is worth being heard.

"I know what butch is. Butches are not beginner FTMs, except that sometimes they are, but it's not a continuum except when it is. Butch is not a trans identity unless the butch in question says it is, in which case it is, unless the tranny in question says it isn't, in which case it's not. There is no such thing as butch flight, no matter what the femmes or elders say, unless saying that invalidates the opinions of femmes in a sexist fashion or the opinions of elders in an ageist fashion. Or if they're right. But they are not, because butch and transgender are the same thing with different names, except that butch is not a trans identity, unless it is; see above."

I'm sick and fucking tired of people not fucking remembering that one of radfems first targets were BUTCHES. It was about dykes being masculine and hating that masculinity. You can find dozens of accounts from all the way back in the 70s of radfems targeting cis and trans butches alike. They steal from butches. They stole our fucking flag. They appropriated androgyny and drove a divide between butches and lesbians that identified as androgynous for YEARS. Don't you fucking DARE conflate being butch with being a terf or a radfem. If you knew an ounce of your history you'd know that radical feminism started as a movement to remove butches from the community completely, and also that butches/transmascs/drag kings and transfems/drag queens have a long history of solidarity, love, and trust considering the fact we're INCESSANTLY demonized even within our own communities. Butch/femme include transfemmes, it always will and ALWAYS has.
