I thought I would start a thread about this question. And see what other's views are on this very subject. I did look and didnt see another thread about this. So here it goes

Can Butches, FTM's, and Femmes just be friends? Nothing sexual or romantic just best friends?

It seems that Ive seen alot of individuals who have problems with their partners being friends with the opposite gender. And it makes me shake my head in disappointment

For me, I identify as butch and have both butch and femme friends. My two besties are femmes. And both of them have partners. I of course am single, and as I date around I find that alot of femmes are very insecure at the fact that my besties are femmes. I believe that one can be best friends with the opposite gender without romantic or sexual intentions.

For me, it didnt matter that both of my besties are femmes. I didnt extend a friendship to an identity I extended it to a person. We became close because of the very definition of a true friend. Someone that is there for you no matter what and has your back without question. We all stand by each other's side through thick and thin. We laugh, cry and share life together.

I would be interested to see everyone's opinion I would like this to be a friendly discussion. )
