“I love butch girls. Girls with slick, shiny, barbershop haircuts, trimmed so short your fingertips can barely grip it. Girls with shirts that button the other way. Girls that swagger … Girls who get stared at in the ladies’ room, girls who shop in the boys department, girls who live every moment looking like they weren’t supposed to. Girls with hands that touch me like they have been exploring my body their entire lives … It is the girls that get called sir every day who make me catch my breath, the girls with strong jaws who buckle my knees, the girls who are a different gender who make me want to lay down for them.” — Tristan Taormino

Ah c'mon not all comments can be taken as a direct compliment to all butches.

Loving this thread but respect must be deserved, it's not a given for all.

Runner I think this comment is very mean spirited.

This is the `General Butch Appreciation` thread so yes I do believe posts can be taken and are indeed meant to be taken as a compliment to all Butches, so long as the Butch reading it feels it fits comfortably with their own particular brand/fit of being on the Butch spectrum.

I give due respect to people until they prove they are not worthy of it. Given your comment I would say on this topic you would fall into that category.

I fall to see why you take issue with someone who is gracious enough to thank some of the posts on here.

Please fell free to DM if you wish to discuss this further as I do not want to derail this thread.

Daisy.

Indeed.

I'm not sure where the whole "earning respect" comment came from, but I think such sentiments are unnecessary and do not add to the overall aim of the thread.

For clarification purposes, I started this thread as a way to show a general appreciation for all butches (yes, all) and to have a place to inject a bit of butch/femme specificity and also positivity into this space. If someone sees themselves or a loved one in one of the posts, that's great! That's what it's here for. If not, no problem, but if that's the case, then there are other threads to choose from. I do not appreciate the snark directed at other thread participants.

If we could keep things on topic and not make it personal, that would be lovely.

Thanks!

I may or may not have, as well.

I have no idea what I am going to do with it.

But, it seemed important to buy.

Loving all the posts so far, everyone! Great stuff!

"She brought me crotchless panties and untied the bows like I was a present that had been wrapped just for her, and before I melted into mindless throbbing waves of orgasm I had a political epiphany: Women who decried being objectified had never had the opportunity to feel like this."

Carol Queen, "Why I Love Butch Women"

[Femmadian]

"I was a baby butch who had never heard the word and so didn't know what to call myself until I first heard that word out loud in 1992 in the back stacks of Little Sister's bookstore. I wore second-hand army boots three sizes too big and cut my own hair with clippers and met what I didn't know at the time was my first femme lover and bought my first necktie and she called me handsome and that one word handsome made up for two decades of knowing I was never really all that pretty."

Ivan Coyote, "Tomboy Survival Guide"

I appreciate the choice of accessories that a butch wears for certain opportunities.

One thing I appreciate about butches is how they carry their visibility. I envy them and i don’t.
