Hey Studs and Butches? Take a breath, unclench your jaw, and relax you shouders. You don't have to be strong and tense and quiet all the time. You don't *have* to be those ever. You are a peron who can be both strong and weak. You deserve to be both quiet as you please or as noisy as you need. You don't deserve to keep it all bottle and carry the weight of the world. You have a community out there with love and a shoulder to cry on. My joy seeing at seeing my fellow butches in public is immeasurable and every second you breath is priceless. I love you. Be safe.

Stud: A black queer person who is masculine. "Stud" was originally used by slavers to refer to black men who did more manual labor, and who they sexually abused. After slavery, black women (who were not allowed jobs) would dress as men to find work. When white employers became suspicious and interrogated black men, they would say, "They aren't women, they're studs." Later on, masculine queer black women adopted the term as a point of pride, and it has since become a staple within the black queer community. Obviously, Stud has roots in black lesbian history, but it's by no means a lesbian exclusive identity. By nature of the origin, and the inherent diversity of experience, Studs have always had solidarity with the gay and trans communities
