I definitely identify as Butch. That is why I am here in the first place. Other people have different meanings for butch than I do and that's just fine. Also, for those who have ridiculous pre-conceived notions about butch - like we have to all be good at car mechanics or something - then I just laugh it off. I don't find the "label" or "gender identity" or Butch to be confining at all. Quite the opposite. It is a fine tuning of who I am and is very meaningful to me. I'm also not gender fluid or someone who is constantly changing when it comes to my gender identity and sexuality and I am happy that way.
