I disagree with that since many, if not most, butches are women and experience themselves as women.

I think the OP is asking for help in trying to explain butch and femme as genders, not necessarily our dynamic. I could be wrong.

There are a lot of queer folk who get squicked by us. It's useful to educate them if you are interested in that.

I think she's asking a hard question. It's hard to go back to square one and say butch is this or that, especially when we know it isn't always.

I guess I would start with the concepts of masculinity and femininity and talk about how they don't belong to any gender.

Good luck. (glad it's not me)
