She's a self identified female athlete, artist, and fashion model who works as a male model. Yes, she's very handsome.

I see you're talking about Casey Legler- might if I join;)

Oh Casey, get out of my dreams and into my bed!

BUTCH is a documentary portrait project and exploration of the butch aesthetic, identity and presentation of female masculinity as it stands in 2013.

It is a celebration of those who choose to exist and identify outside of the binary; who still get he’d and she’d differently throughout the day; who get called-out in bathrooms and eyed suspiciously at the airport; who have invented names for themselves as parents because “Mom” nor “Dad” feels quite right; and who will generally expect that stare from the gender police trying to figure out if they are “a boy or a girl”. It is an homage to the bull-daggers and female husbands before me, and to the young studs, gender queers, and bois who continue to bloom into the present.

Why so serious, Casey???

Oh I can die happy now. So many handsome butches!

I know right? Nothing is sexier than a smiling happy butch:

:D yay butches!

Since some of the femmes here had been asking for photos of older butches, I went looking for them. I know I've seen a few more like me-over 50-but except for one or two, I can't find them at the moment.

So, here is what I did find. Including one or two personal heroes. All of these are over 35, some older than that and a few are older photos from the 1940's/1950's or earlier. So at least you are getting older generation butches.

1)Well fuck. Maybe I wont. The photos are on my computer and this thing wants only a url. Is there a way around that?

So glad Rachel decided to be herself!

From a spiffy calendar done a few years back by a Brooklyn non-profit, to benefit a local queer youth shelter. Remakes of old dyke paperback covers, using local queers. These two are a for-reals couple, raising a family together.

Butch femme couple at Mona's, an old dyke/queer bar. I think it was in NYC, but I'd have to look it up. Taken sometime in the 1950's.

This is a still from a documentary, 'A Persistent Desire'. I think it said photographer is Lenn Keller. Very handsome older butch femme couple. Yes, I know most of these are of couples. Sorry.

Thanks! I was a little worried that I was over-doing it. Very glad you are enjoying the show!

Okay just found this one online. I'd never seen this one before. I think it's from the 1960's.
The website apparently is a collection of essays. I'm going to check it out myself eventually. In the meantime, here is the site if you want to look the essays up yourself. sitemaker dot umich dot edu forward slash lesbianhistories forward slash Hopefully that will get you to the right spot.

And the photo...

Okay, gonna post a couple of photos here of Leslie Feinberg, a personal hero of mine.
This is a still from the documentary 'Outlaw' which you will only see if you can catch it as a film festival. No folks, it's not for sale to individuals. More's the pity.
