I really hope I don't get my head taken off for this. I am absolutely not equating Butch=male or Femme=female.
Interestingly, my son (13) and I got into a discussion this morning about how his sister operates around her friends, and how he acts around his. He's noticed that my daughter is all text, text, text or call, call, call, or talk, talk talk! His idea of "communication"? Wrestling. They settle any disputes, pissing contests, etc. by wrestling, and all is settled. I bring that up because I'm sincerely asking if anyone has ever noticed that though many Butches identify as female, and the same with many Femmes, if Butches tend to communicate much more non-verbally than Femmes. I've noticed that many of my Femme friends are, shall we say, verbose, and some of the Butches that I have met are not. And if Butches and Femmes, even if just a few, follow the same dynamics as my son and daughter, does that imply that social conditioning plays a much bigger role in communication than biology? I hope to hell that wasn't an offensive question.
