why is it when we spot another butch do we
give off a vibe but really not make eye contact and rarely if ever smile o acknowledge each other?
how bout some feedback butches????

I just loved this entire post Stoney...you brought up some of the best thoughts! I am also curious about the eye contact thing. It's seemed to me that it's just always been so difficult for lesbians in general to make eye contact. Like if we look at each other something will happen, or people will "know" (like I give a flyin fuck if anyone knows!). but it is particularly noticable with butches I think...maybe that's because I am butch so that's the only real angle I have experienced it from. As I have gotten older I have made more of an effort to make the eye contact, and the normal little head nod that we all do. But it is a phenomena that I have always wondered about....anyone else got anything to say about the lack or avoidance of eye contact between us? What are we afraid of? Or what are we avoiding?
