butches and studs and mascs, oh my!

[id: photo of two butches, both with light skin and short brown hair, dressed in button-down shirts. One is reaching over to tie a red plaid tie around the neck of the other. The butch tying the tie is smiling, and looks confident. The butch wearing the tie is watching in deep concentration. /end id]

Butch in boxers with no shirt

If you’re butch, your body is butch. Your boobs are butch, your hips are butch, your narrow shoulders or short stature are butch. Butchness does not have to be about passing as a man or achieving that lanky teen boy androgyny that’s pushed on us. Just being as we are is butch. It’s about us making and taking our space in the world, not fitting into a narrow standard of masculinity.

fat butch is genuinely the staple . when u say butch i think of a fat butch and it hasn't crossed my mind that this is a new thought for some people

Butch women and butch transfems of all kinds are not at all redundant, paradoxical or confused. Butches are life givers, war fighters, healers and valued speakers. Butches are ethereal, powerful and fucking awe inspiring. Butches ARE the movement and thee moment. Don't you EVER fucking forget.
