T4 I agree and feel the same that butch isn't going anywhere, and I don't believe it's changing all that much either but hopefully some of the things we criticize about each other and hold over each others heads at times will.

And just to be clear, again, this thread isn't about changing what butch is, or saying that a stereotypical type of butch is incorrect... I've identified as butch for longer than some peeps on this forum have been alive and to be honest here one could say I'm fairly stereotypical butch and so is my relationship... I'm also very not stereotypical in many ways... and nothings wrong with either of those things and that's kind of the point.

It's about not perpetuating those myths/stereotypes to point of smothering individuality or and discouraging peeps from doing or being every single damn thing they want in this life without worrying about being thought of as less butch.

I just get tired of seeing people trying to pull other peeps butch cards based on ID differences, gender variances or who they date etc. etc. etc.

That's all I've got
