If I'm not mistaken that's what the community is about right? My questions are:

-As a butch of whatever ID, do you feel animosity towards (entire groups) of other butch IDs?

-Do you see yourself or ID as being at "war" with another ID?

-Do you see any group of masculine ID's having an agenda to attack another group?

That said I often see when (insert any butch ID) speaks about themselves or issues with what-ever it sometimes taken as an affront to others ID. Often by people who don't even ID as either in question.

That is a problem I do see often, is this the reason for the perception of a ID war"?

Serious sometimes I feel stupid because I'm not seeing it, and I'm not feeling invisible to, attacked or dismissed by any other group of masculine ID folks.

Thanks,

No, I don't feel any animosity towards one group of butches or another....that being said I don't like people all that much in general in the real world. So online if I dislike you it's because of what I KNOW to be true about you or because you are an ass online. It's got nothing to do with how you ID.

Do you see yourself or ID as being at "war" with another ID?
Nope.

Do you see any group of masculine ID's having an agenda to attack another group?
No, not at all. I don't see any particular group banging on another. I see scattered individual people arguing and disagreeing with other people. I don't think it's fair to group all masculine ID'd people together nor is it fair to group female ID'd people together.
I don't think this war of words is going to ever go away either. The issues are too deep and personal to some.
