Ya know what shout out to butches who wrestle with our butchness because we don’t fit the mold in some way. Butches who aren’t physically strong or naturally caretaking because of physical disability, who need to be cared for, who can’t hold open the door for a femme. Butches with long hair, butches with big hair, butches who express their culture via their hair. Butches who’s masculinity is shaped by their culture, who’s masculinity doesn’t fit the white eurocentric mold. Fat butches, butches with curves viewed as feminine, butches who don’t have skinny, boyish builds. Butches who don’t want to be sexualized, butches on the ace spectrum. Butches who don’t have traditionally masculine interests or mannerisms or whatever. Effeminate butches. Butches who take inspo from gay men. Butches who like the occasional dress or skirt. TRANSFEM BUTCHES!!!!! And any other butches who don’t fit a certain mold!! All butches are good butches and we are all valid.

You say you want a sensitive butch but are you going to hold them when they sob uncontrollably from the traumas in their life, are you going to make sure that the voice in their head telling them off for being that vulnerable isn't the only thing they can hear, are you going to reward their vulnerability by stepping up and being an active caregiver in their life?

So many butches I know just like me are controlled and contorted by their fear. Their fear of being othered, of being perpetrators of hatred and aggression, of showing any number of their personality traits that are considered unbutch and weak.

So please. If you are lucky enough to have a butch in your life this is your sign to reward their vulnerability. Reward it with your touch with your time and your thought.

[This post is written by and for trans women butches, fuck off my post]

#I’m starting to realize that I have more internalized fear and guilt than I thought #i’ve always been this way #even before I knew what being butch was. like it was stitched into my soul at birth

"I can be a butch without opening door for girls," he's saying. "I can be a butch without opening doors for girls," he's saying. I can do it even if I follow while dancing, I can do it without spending my Saturday afternoons as a femme's shopping bottom at the mall and I do. I am. I am honorable, I take good care of the people I love as well as I possibly can; I watch out for my community. I have a butch heart full of love that I can express when I feel safe enough; I walk in the world resisting gender norms and transgressing gender rules, transcending them. I am fixing whatever I can, whenever I can, and I laugh, and play, and let the spaces in my masculinity show, just like you, just like every butch. I get all slicked up for a date in a suit and tie and I pick up my date, also in a suit and tie, and we just open the door if we get to it first and we take turns paying, and it doesn't make me less a butch. It doesn't make me less of anything. It doesn't mean that I don't think femmes are swell, I surely do, but they are not my salvation when I travel, they are not the North of my heart's compass. That's butches for me, and I will always go a little weak when I see someone who looks scared and hardened and delighted and ashamed and proud --- proud, just like me."

Babe, you can be 300 lbs+ and still be a delicate flower.

Shout out to femmes with body hair. Your choice not to shave shouldn’t be treated like an “unfeminine” thing. If you’re feminine and have body hair, guess what that body hair is now feminine too!
