Bringing It Up: Describe The Butch You Are

[jac]

The butch that I am is the butch she saw in me and accepted whole-heartedly. I am a female, a daughter, sister, mother, boobeh (grandmother), aunt, a friend… I dream and love and cherish deeply. I have passions, hopes and aspirations and I have the ability to make them come true and be successful at it. I am a fighter, a lover, a peace keeper. I am rough around the edges and firm in my beliefs. I am quiet and shy and I cry when my heart is touched. I respect others, have morals, live by integrity and I do what I can to make another person feel noticed. I defend the underdog, give up a seat to an elderly person, I help that single mom get her things gathered while she holds her child. I am moody, get irritable, lose my temper… I am human and I have emotions; good and not so good. I make mistakes. I do my best to right my wrongs. I have grown as a person over the years and I have grown as a butch. I am proud of the person I have become but by no means have I stopped working on that individual I strive to be. I play and have fun. I’m a kid at heart. I enjoy picnics, flying kites, blowing bubbles… I sing in the shower and at karaoke. I dance when my knees are forgiving and allow me to do so. I thoroughly enjoy supporting, pampering, complimenting and doing for my lover. I am a protector, her protector and I will always support her in whatever she believes in. I would never give up being the person that I am and I would not expect that from her either. I am a great hugger. A good lover. I am a dork at times. I am fierce. I am a hard worker. I am all gy. I am her gy. I have fears, I get scared but I am strong when I need to be. I give everything my all… to completion!

I am me. I am Stoney. I am Jack. I am hy… Yes I am butch!
