freedom for butches whose highest desire isn't self-sacrifice. visibility for butches who don't want to be restrained chivalrous knights held in perpetual courtship by exalted fems. affection for butches that isn't based on our utility. acceptance of butches that isn't conditional on the state of perpetual usefulness we offer to the world to make up for not performing womanhood correctly.
love for butches who are as masculine as they are without restricting themselves to the aspects of masculinity you find nonthreatening. respect for butches who are kind of mannish and not "like a man but safer." acknowledgement of butches' humanity as individuals rather than accessories and background characters.
we take pride in our service but don't forget that some of that is because we have to.
