disabled butches who aren't physically strong, who need help from caretakers, who use mobility aids, wear medical braces, etc... you're wonderful butches just as you are, and don't need to prove yourself to anyone

Strong to my enemies, tender to those I loved and respected. That’s what I wanted to be.

i think one of the things that helped me realize i was “allowed” to be butch was that it’s more like an identity and its own gender rather than a role in relationships - which can be a key aspect in a lot of cases and has always been for me whenever i dated girls without realizing it (seriously, looking back, all the girls i had a thing with but especially one were very femme in presentation and very timid and i remember being the strong confident one who just wanted to make her feel special), but as of right now i’m single and despite being butch4femme respectfully (i always crush on the more gender-conforming girls <3), it’s my identity. it’s what makes me transmasc. it’s what the tomboy side of me has led up to. it’s why i prefer the masculine, free-spirited, ambitious version of my deadname that i connected it to. it helps me feel stronger and more resilient, like i could be a leader with my confidence for myself even if no one else ever follows for any number of reasons (unpopular opinions, irrelevancy, whatever). it’s so much easier to not worry about how i look or appease to others and frankly as an autistic individual it’s so much better to just wear loose clothing that makes me feel more comfortable and is more of a simple style for me - similarly, i look so much more me with shorter (but wider across iykwim) hair and it’s so much more efficient to wash, comb, and otherwise take care of. i can’t even pull it back anymore, which is kind of a good thing tbh since i never could master that skill lmao. i love being butch, i really do, and i’ll always be grateful to the positivity blogs and flag creators that led to the idea that maybe it really was for me after all!! :>

i love butch wlw and drag kings so so much and i hate that so many trans guys see them as disrespectful to the transmasc identity because first off. shut up. second, so many drag kings and butch wlw ARE transmasc/trans men? them existing and being hot and expressing their gender does not mean your identity is under threat they are a PART of your community and your identity. stop trying to pass off your misogyny towards wlw and queer women as genuine concern or "secondhand dysphoria" or whatever.
