There are definitely butches who define as female, but not as women. I defined that way for many years and know quite a many butch who still does. Here the term woman is seen as being connected to a social construct, rather than it being connected to one's biology.

(Hope you were actually asking the question?)

I am very proud to be a lesbian. I am also proud of the expansion of queer as a concept that includes lesbianism as one cog on a wheel of great fortune in human development and personal expression.

Lesbian is not my favorite word, although I am starting to like it a whole bunch more due to recent events. I always preferred dyke. I got lottsa words I resonate with:

butch dyke woman femininst pervert asshat woman-loving-woman lesbian fucker fuckee queer.........I live all those words......and I am proud to be all those words in any and all combinations. The most recent ones.....crone, elder kind of make me cringe, but I am 59 so I better get used to it ..........laughin....

I have also not used the word lesbian in years. I'm not exposed to too much where i live and what i ascertain is what i read or see on TV. I backed away from the word after i decided i didn't fit into what i was understanding how the word was being defined for me.

I shouldn't have felt that way. As most are saying here and in other threads, it is personal and there isn't a clear cut definition like i thought there was.

I agree with Toughy, due to recent events, it is now a word i am beginning to resonate to ...again.

It's good to be coming home. Lesbian pride IS a beautiful thing.
