Our Butch Experience @our-butch-experience - Tumblr Blog

our butch experiences! Welcome to any butch, regardless of gender or orientation.

same system as @our-femme-experience and @our-futch-experience

(I accidentally tagged myself oops)

I experience very strong aesthetic attraction for all kinds of people, but I am just so comically into other butches and studs (especially studs). oh my GOD y'all are so fine. big fan.

catch me getting 'I love studs' tattooed on my chest./hj

there'd be so much missing from the world without butches and studs. insert your preferred adjective for 'aesthetically pleasing' here while I'm foaming at the mouth.

I'm transfem and have a huge problem with how everyone treats hyper-femininity as the only valid presentation of being transfeminine. it's not like I'm not feminine at all but as you can tell by the fact that I'm sending this here I am, in fact, butch.

Im curious to hear an opinion from butches about something ive been mulling over. (I'm nonbinary, quite masculine leaning, if context is wanted). Ive always felt drawn to a lot of butch culture, or history, or people in general, both in a love for some of the foundational people in the queer community in general, and because I feel drawn to it as a label. I am not, however, a lesbian. I'm asexual and mostly aromantic leaning. (Any attraction beyond that has been for nonbinary people). I'm not asking for "permission" to use any label, but I'd be interested to hear from butches or other lesbians about connections to the label and community, and if there is anyone who doesnt have a super strong sense of sexual/romantic attraction to women but still feels at home with "butch."

you dont have to be a lesbian to be butch ! you dont even have to be a woman. if it resonates with you go for it

#butch

my butch experience is being proud. Im proud of being butch and what it means, and how it affects interacting with people, both in relationships and generally. im proud of how it makes me view myself.

im proud when i see other butches.

im proud of being a bisexual butch despite some peoples issues because most in our community have, thank god, been accepting.

and im proud of how far ive come in being myself.

nonbinary butch culture is looking like Some Guy (trademark)

#lol its ok #butch

I'm a man-adjacent nonbinary butch lesbian, a lesboy, if you will. my experience with this can be summed up with one word: 'isolation'. whenever I go to interact with lesbian or sapphic content, I always get hit with 'men dni' blogs and wonder, 'am I too much of a man to be allowed to interact with this person?' not that I would want to, since I've made a habit of blocking people like that out of solidarity with other people that are described by the lesboy label. still, it really is isolating to have an identity that doesn't fit the typical 'non-man' definition of lesbian because of all the people who treat you like predatory scum for it online. super pro-butch sentiment, guys./sar

I aim to be so genderfucked that I make both men AND women question their sexuality. lemme hit them with my transmasc nonbinary butch swag

Hello! I'm a transmasc art student and I'm making research on queer masculine people's relationships with dress shirts so I could make an art book from it!

Of course my research on queer masculinity would never be complete without the input of butches, so I figured maybe you could help me find willing participants!

If anyone is interested they should fill out this form

I don't know if it's something appropriate to ask here but since your account is targeted towards butches I figured maybe you could help me! Thank you in advance :)

cool survey people should do!

my butch experience is being 5 or 6 years on T. it's having had top surgery 3 or 4 years ago. it's presenting mostly as a dude, but being so genderqueer it would hurt the average cis person's head. and, despite this, being able to walk up to a booth advertising a sapphic hangout and not being pushed away for it. the euphoria upon realizing that, despite what people online say, I do belong in sapphic spaces.

Something I wish I felt more comfortable doing openly is mourning my lack of a role model. I'm a transmasc butch who dates and loves men. My ideal is to look and act like any of those old guard stone butch lesbians in grainy photographs, the ones who seemed to maintain an attitude of "this is me, take it or leave it." But I have no roadmap through which to approach my gender and sexuality like they did. I feel a deep, painful desire to be in community with people like them, but my sexuality feels like it lies somewhere between "straight woman" and "gay man," and I also don't feel like I properly fit in with either of those groups. There is no bar or club I can go to to feel surrounded by my peers, to find someone who can mentor me in existing as a baby butch. I am an intruder in the space.

There's no blueprint for me to follow, and it creates a deep hole inside me that... just feels isolating. Like I'm the exact wrong combination of gender presentation and attraction. It feels like to be myself is to make myself harder to love.

If anyone reading this is in a similar position, I'm sorry. I hope we can both figure things out someday.

our butch experience is feeling a little bit left out because our disabilities make it hard to wear stereotypical "butch" clothing/struggling to find accessible men's clothes

#butch

my butch experience is considering myself to be some amount of dude and just being so tired of people associating lesbianism with misandrists. lesbianism isn't 'misandry club', and I hate how it's watered down by certain lesbiphobes to mean that. I hate how there are actual people they can point to, too, and go, 'see?? these lesbians hate men, so clearly there's a correlation between being a lesbian and misandry', because it's such a gross simplification of the community.

Im technically a gay trans man so idk if I’m allowed here (and if I’m not then that’s fine) but I did want to ask anyways. Im closeted, pre-t. Right now I present as a masculine woman. I don’t fit in right with cis women or men—too masc for the former, to fem for the latter. I don’t really want to emulate cis masculinity, either (no problem if someone does, though, it just doesn’t feel right). But “butch” feels like where I fit in. It feels right. At least in terms of gender. Since I’m not a lesbian, or even bisexual, I hesitate to use the term for myself. But nothing else describes what I am as well. Anyways, thank you for your time.

i really like the term butch for myself, even though I'm bi and most people don't associate bi people with the term butch i still like being masc presenting. though i feel like i would only really call myself butch if i was dating a girl. does that make sense?

Is it okay to call myself a butch (or, well, a butch-in-progress), and still sometimes wear clothes like skirts and dresses? It feels like a silly question but I get insecure sometimes

yeah sure if u want :p

#butch

as far as i can remember, butch was the first label that resonated with me. at the time i didn’t know being transmasc was an option. so i was a butch lesbian. since then i’ve come to terms with my attraction to men and if i do have to label my sexuality i would say i’m queer or bi. i stopped identifying with ‘butch’ a long time ago, but recently it has started resonating again, and in a way i’d feel kind of bad using that label as someone who is definitely not a lesbian (even though my attraction to women feels partially queer). but it also feels kind of right. sorry about the ramble. i guess i just want to know if i’d be doing something wrong calling myself butch as a bi trans man, especially when i have a preference for other masc people. i know nobody can stop me but i just don’t want to make people uncomfortable
