currently crying as I'm writing this but uh I reeeaallyy wonder when people are gonna decide to leave us lesbians with unconventional gender identities alone. please leave the teenage bigender lesbian alone. they're a young girl in high school who likes other girls whom their mother will never accept and has to hide their relationships, and forever hide their heartache after they fail. please leave the transmasc lesbian alone. people will whisper behind his back about how much of a tranny he is while expressing disgust when he holds hands with a girl. please leave the nonbinary lesbian or just transfem lesbian alone whom is too masc or man-leaning for your taste, whether that be because they're amab or a nonbinary guy, they're trying super hard just to live and can barely pass and is forced to hide or else people will accuse them of invading spaces or being a predator. I know you won't ever see us as deserving of the lesbian label- no matter how much we present like a cis girl or how much we've been discriminated against for our attraction, from my experience- but we're just trying to make it by too. I'm tired of just trying to convince people I'm allowed to exist. not be in spaces, be in communities, exist. please leave me alone. please leave trans lesbians alone.

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.

"Of course lesbians can be genderqueer and nonbinary and be attracted to genderqueer and nonbinary people as long as their genders aren't breaking the binary too much and they are femme or neutral enough that we can comfortably misgender them as women in our heads!"

Fuck that let Lesbians Be Genderweird

The more I see lesbians who are anywhere under the trans umbrella the happier I am.

Since reading Stone Butch Blues at the start of this year,

Since following a bunch of they/them, he/him, she/they/he, nonbinary, trans, butch lesbians on here,

And watching a few interviews by Lynn Breedlove of Tribe 8,

I just feel like home, people like me exist, and people like me have existed for a while! I don't have to debate my identity with anyone, I just *am* some queer, gender-weird butch dyke 🌈

And if you don't like it: goodbye, don't bother me.

Non Men Loving Non Men

A survey on lesbianism and gender was conducted from early July to late August of this year. It was for any lesbian under the genderqueer umbrella or who had a complicated experience with gender. It received 211 responses.

One question read "How do you feel about the common lesbian definition 'non men loving non men?'" and participants were asked to rate it from one ("hate it") to five ("love it"). This definition will be abbreviated to NMLNM going forward.

For the purposes of this analysis, numbers in the range [1, 3) are considered to feel negatively about the definition, and numbers in the range (3, 5] are considered to feel positive about the definition.

The overall average was 2.838, which is considered to be feeling slightly negative about this definition. The standard deviation was 1.384.

Participants were also asked if they considered themself to be cis, and if they considered themself to be trans. The options given were "yes," "no," "unsure," "sometimes," "somewhat," and "prefer not to say" for each of those two questions. These responses were then compared to responses to the NMLNM question.

Opinions were generally close to the overall average, and all were within one standard deviation.

The group that felt most positive about the NMLNM definition were those who did not consider themselves to be trans, with an average of 3.217 (standard deviation 1.391).

The only other group to feel positively about the definition were those who considered themselves somewhat cis, with an average of 3.107 (standard deviation 1.396).

The group that felt most negatively about the definition were those who sometimes considered themselves to be trans, with an average of 2.333 (standard deviation 1.231).

A later question allowed participants to select gender labels. 51 people identified as multigender. Of those multigender participants, the average opinion on the NMLNM definition was 2.255.

In conclusion, the genderqueer lesbians surveyed felt, on average, slightly negative about the definition of lesbianism "non men loving non men." When divided by gender, the only groups to feel positive about this definition were "not trans" and "somewhat cis" participants. Multigender participants felt especially negative about this definition.

While the sample size is not sufficient to draw conclusions about lesbians as a whole, it is reasonable to conclude that "non men loving non men" is not a perfect definition of lesbianism.

#men and non men #non men loving non men #lesbian #multigender #genderqueer lesbian #multigender lesbian #anyway! remember that survey? i was bored so i decided to analyze the results!#and the results helped me conclude this is a Not Great definition. for multigender lesbians especially #transmultiphobia #saturn speaks

butch is a term that has such a long and intense history, i can't really fault people for not knowing a lot about it. it's fine if you don't have the time to read into how it's been used by various parts of the queer community, even the butch lesbian community alone given how much there is to look into, how much nuance there is to it, and what kinds of people use it.

for those who don't have that time or can't find a good place to start , just know that when folks (terfs) push to say "only lesbians can be butch," they then turn around and tell their lesbian communities "transmasculine people, FTMs, trans men, bi/multigender, genderqueer and nonbinary lesbians aren't lesbians." it is part of a long daisy chain of terfs trying to cause infighting and ultimately just remove trans people from the gay & lesbian communities.

it will never be factually incorrect to say that butch is a term that's important to the lesbian community. it's been a big part of the lesbian community for decades. but the people who are telling you it's important to lesbians and that's why it needs to be lesbian exclusive are always leaving out one massive detail, that the butch lesbian community has always been densely populated by genderqueer, nonbinary, multigender, FTM, transmasculine, transsexual & other trans lesbians. if you attempt to speak on the importance of the term, but forcefully exclude half the people who have historically used it, you aren't telling the truth.

Lesbian is powerful, and I think an effort to limit who can use that word is an effort to limit who can use that power.

genderqueer culture is preferring masculine terms and using he/him while also being a lesbian and not giving a fuck what people who dont get it think because the people who do get it get it, and they're awesome.
