Chazz, your point about using the word "spectrum" was useful to me. Let me be very clear, I do not see transitioning as the next step for all butches, nor do I see it as an act of trying to be "more butch."

I am not trying to villify you for your beliefs. Butches have been villified throughout our history/herstory and I am sure many of us here have experienced this sort of targeted hate. I consciously try not to do the blame game here. The words I have spoken are based on my experience, reality. I do think that masculinity is not limited to sex, gender, genetics, orientation or testosterone.

I have tried to build bridges in our community in "real life" and here online. I have no desire to split the LGBTQ community into fighting factions. (I am not saying this is your goal. It is not mine.)

I hope this offers something to the discussion on this thread.
