"There is a kind of connection that I sometimes have, with certain people, a way of trust that only comes with people who have what I always think of as a butch heart. That's not quite right. Some of them don't identify as butches; some, in fact, hardly identify as anything even in the same zip code. But's it's a very boy way of being bigger than, a sturdy and quiet way, taking care of everyone around you as best you can, always trying to fix it, always stepping up to do the crap job that gets no recognition, and also of being so gentle, so generous, so nonjudgemental of other people, believing that they are doing their best.

Is that sexist? I don't mean it to be. I mean to describe this way of some masculine things, so different in its energy from other ways of caretaking. In Yiddish, this is referred to as being a mensch, which also means a man. There's a part of me thatr wishes I could separate it entirely from gender, and another part which sees it as exactly right that this is gendered, that there are ways of butchness that are composed of the best of masculinity and leave all of its borrish excesses behind.

But I met this butch, a handsome writing with a toughness about him that I recognized as the result of his life for the forty-six years before he and I crossed paths, a toughness that even still showed an underlying playfulness. That he had been able to keep that place alive and tender in the hardness of life made him light up my eyes as someone who would know some of the things I knew, someone who would honor the same places in me, and we started talking. Talking turned into flirting, and flirting turned into intention. We made a date to spend an evening together seeing what our combined toughness and playfulness might mean when we took our clothes off, a kind of old-style faggot good time without a lot of expectation about who might or would do what, to or for whom.''

Sapphic Books with Butch for Butch Main Characters

This post is inspired by @/andrea_reads_'s recent post about 'sapphic contemporary romance books with butches on the cover.' She has talked about the ongoing conversation on Twitter about the lack of butch representation in romances, which inspired me to find more books with butches, especially focusing on butch x butch representation.

As of now, I have found only six, but I will continue searching for more soon. They all seem interesting, and I can't wait to read them! Make sure to check them out, and don't forget to read Andrea's post too, as she has many more recommendations!

just like, fyi to lesbian/sapphic boys, men, transmascs, transfem and other butches, futches, and any and all other masculine bi/lesbians: I am kissing u on the mouth with tongue!!!

Looking at butches........

We've got our cowboy butches, but where are our

Buckle Bunny Femmes?

"I can be a butch without opening door for girls," he's saying. "I can be a butch without opening doors for girls," he's saying. I can do it even if I follow while dancing, I can do it without spending my Saturday afternoons as a femme's shopping bottom at the mall and I do. I am. I am honorable, I take good care of the people I love as well as I possibly can; I watch out for my community. I have a butch heart full of love that I can express when I feel safe enough; I walk in the world resisting gender norms and transgressing gender rules, transcending them. I am fixing whatever I can, whenever I can, and I laugh, and play, and let the spaces in my masculinity show, just like you, just like every butch. I get all slicked up for a date in a suit and tie and I pick up my date, also in a suit and tie, and we just open the door if we get to it first and we take turns paying, and it doesn't make me less a butch. It doesn't make me less of anything. It doesn't mean that I don't think femmes are swell, I surely do, but they are not my salvation when I travel, they are not the North of my heart's compass. That's butches for me, and I will always go a little weak when I see someone who looks scared and hardened and delighted and ashamed and proud --- proud, just like me."
