I, personally, have no real time butch or transguy friends. All of my gay friends are androgynous, and although I love them dearly, I so wish I had someone to have "shorthand" with, in real life.
God knows how I have found femme off line to date. The femmes I have dated (except for once, I only date locally), have never been able to find femme friends, either.
And when it comes to online, I am not really connected to any butches/transguys, either. Has just fallen out that way, for whatever reason?
I am very thankful for b/f/trans space on the internet, however. I certainly get a lot of my needs met just by being on this type of site.
