One thing I'd like to see talked about, and I think it's a huge problem... is the equating of Female ID and Women ID to soft or less masculine.
Frankly, honestly... truly...
... it's just plain sexist (and perhaps misogynistic where it's not being ignorant).
Being, acknowledging, IDing as, having pride in and saying openly one is a female or women as well as butch does not mean one is stating they're less butch. Where people get that I don't know... except that I do.
Butches of all ID's come in all flavors, being Male or Female ID isn't an indicator of cooking skills, mechanic skills... musical preferences... musculature... facial characteristics... cuppa joe or latte... it just isn't meant to convey level of butch-ness.
It's not only dissing Female ID but it places stupid expectations on Male ID to be X Y Z... it really works against everyone.
