You wouldn't refer to someone as a "crip," or "white trash" even if they refer to themselves that way. The exact point I am making here is that we tolerate comments like this about women, shrug them off, make it a personal thing, instead of having a community standard that says it's not okay to refer to butches as "men with boobs."

Heart..
She is saying that HER butch is... not that all butches are...
There is a difference...
It's just as wrong trying to force your (general your's, not your's personaly) ID on someone as it is to try to says that all are something because one is...
