Ok so I like boys and I might be a trans dude but I’m really attracted to the lesbian label idk why but aaa isnsuhsuwnsus Idk what to do what is wrong with me please help me

I have the same problem with the term ‘butch’, I really like it but I’m not a lesbian so I can’t exactly use it

so instead I just call myself a sparrow stag (meaning a sorta low-maintenance masculine nb)

[intersex-ionality]

Queer men (especially trans men) have been using the term butch for decades, and the movement to redefine butch and femme as lesbian exclusive terms is spearheaded by and beneficial to terfs.

If butch is the word that fits, then use it. Terfs don’t deserve to shape your life or our community.

Terfs don’t define us, and they certainly don’t define you.

[official-cisphobe]

is that true? Do you know where I could read more about it? The only things I could find just state that butch is a lesbian term

[intersex-ionality]

I’m on mobile right now, which is always hard on research, but I will collect you some sources tonight, no worries

[official-cisphobe]

Thank you so much!

[intersex-ionality]

Starting off simply, here’s a timeline of the history of “butch,” exploring its roots in working class queer women of color’s bars (remember, the word lesbian just meant “woman who has sex with women” until the 70s). The 80s is when the author first starts talking about the use of butch by queer men. Specifically, urban men of color.

And, while I hate to play the “defer to authority” card, when it comes to butch identity, there are few people who would know more about it than Butch Voices, the largest butch activist organization in the world. Which specifically refuses to exclude men, and more than that explicitly includes trans men.

Gay men often describe themselves (check out these personals ads), their partners or their friends in terms of being femme or butch, not just in casual contexts, but in research ones. That’s how deeply these identities are felt. Again and again, the term used to describe all queer masculinity is butch.

And while most definitions by queer organizations welcome and acknowledge the fact that butch was popularized in post-WWII women’s spaces, you’ll note an absence of gender limitations on the definitions themselves.

That’s because butch identity, by its very nature, is a violation of gender norms (one that some people say is outdated and antiquated, though I strongly disagree).

And so, too, are all forms of queerness ultimately a violation of gender normativity, of strict definition and categorization.

That’s why major butch authors, for example, hesitate to even use traditional gender pronouns such as “he” or “she” when writing about the hypothetical butch. Because a butch may be a woman, but womanhood is not a necessary component of butchness. And I do apologize for that link, I know it only shows scraps of the whole book, but it does at least include a couple of the more relevant essays about the complexity of trying to assign a gender to butch identity.

For all queer people–including the men–butch identity is an act of reclamation of masculine performance, in the same way that for all queer people–including the women–femme identity is a reclamation of feminine performance, ripping it out of the hands of the cisheteronormative hegemony and saying, hey, fuck you, you don’t get to decide who counts as what, who gets to do what, get fucked. And this can be fumbled, of course, but so can anything. Performance is what it is, and we all make missteps.

Now, as for the other half of my conclusion: that the constant claims about butch (and femme) being “lesbian exclusive” are TERF propaganda.

The following links require content warnings far in excess of just “these talk about queer history and the evolution of terminology.”

These are links to TERF news articles written and intended for non-TERF audiences. That means they present TERF talking points in positive language. Be careful when you approach them, be careful when you read them.

Since at least the 1980s, when masculinizing medical transition started becoming more accessible on a larger scale, trans-exclusionary feminists and trans-exclusionary lesbian separatists have been going out of their way to erase, shame, and punish their trans brothers and lovers for “betraying” them,.

A great many people who had previously identified as hard-butch lesbians because it was the only word they new moved into identifying as trans men. And because radical feminist, lesbian separatist theory had no place for any kind of men, the only way that kind of act could be frames was as treachery. The men who did so, some of whom had been stalwart feminists for decades, some of whom had even been powerful voices in second wave feminist movements, were suddenly treated as abusers, drug peddlers, and sexual criminals.

And that is why it is imperative that we refuse to let TERFs define who does and does not get to be butch. They never got to before, and they sure as hell don’t get to now.

[official-cisphobe]

thank you for the sources! This was all really interesting!

I’d also like to highlight that in the first link they also mention that butch is also been in use in the nonbinary community, which I think is very interesting

[infiniteglitterfall]

Les Feinberg and Stormé DeLarverie are just two famous nonbinary butches. It’s LONG been a thing for genderqueer/nonbinary people.

[aevios]

[id= screenshot of text that says “While ‘butch’ remains a word that’s primarily used among lesbians, it’s also used by nonbinary and genderqueer folks. Some communities have embraced other terms for masculinity, like ‘stud’ and ‘tomboy,’ while ‘masc’ is used more widely by gay men and trans people.” /end id]

[macabrekawaii]

Les Feinberg saved my life please please please do not let TERF rhetoric shape and define the next generation of identities. Butch is a term ABSOLUTELY in use by all queer genders.

For Those Active on Witchy Facebook

Tw: Antisemitism This is a warning about a popular group, “Sounds Like Witchcraft and I Love It.” 

Over the past couple of months the group has become increasingly aggressive and hostile towards Jews, perpetuating harmful Jewish stereotypes, and a constant environment where Judenhass is not seen as “real” oppression, and not enough of an issue on its own to address. Goyim speak over Jewish people on Jewish issues, and the moderators have repeatedly refused to address the (sometimes very blatant) hostility, or actively contribute to it. Jews are seen as white by default, and treated like an invasive species who are only using Jewishness as a tool to undermine others. (I hope I don’t have to explain why this is horrible.) 

It’s with a heavy heart I warn this group is DANGEROUS for Jewish people. It is actively antisemitic. I am terrified to see what develops as this group continues to grow more hostile, and members who have absorbed all this go out and interact with other groups where Jewish people participate. I feel like I have a duty to say something with my platform when I think a warning really needs to be spread. I’m scared and I am deeply sad.

Please stay safe out there, everybody. 

[dancingfrozen]

Can confirm. I left this group about a month ago. Stay safe, Jewfam.

I got to meet a good friend in person yesterday! We met through our D&D characters, Rhos & Aviva Lux, so I had to draw them together too! I didn’t think it possible, but you’re even more wonderful in person @dancingfrozen ! <3

You may recall Aviva from a short story Samara wrote of her and Rhos meeting which is canonical for both of their backstories. If not you should read it on her writing blog @expressandadmirable , its so sweet and a lovely read! READ HERE!

And if you’re really into more of them we also made a playlist of a faux-duet album for them as they are both glamour bards. LISTEN HERE!

[dancingfrozen]

Kimbles is an absolute joy and I’m so glad D&D and Tumblr and Twitter brought us together!!
