Just wanted to thank you.
I saw your comments n posts in the butch group and realised just how little I knew.
irl I am surrounded by very little (no) community. Mostly terfs or gay people who are biphobic or bi people who are transphobic and so on. I argue with them every day to the point I thought I was more aware of some identites than I was.
Thanks to mostly you and a few others, I finally looked up some labels you mentioned and realised that butch fits in a lot more people than I first considered and it honestly made me sorta happy.
I have also gone down the nonbinary/agender rabbithole and accidentally found a label which fits me perfectly but I didn't think existed for some silly reason.
So, this demigirl butch lesbian is very grateful that you expanded my view, or maybe just reminded me of something I forgot but once felt. And I confess,, you have the cooler flags as well. Keep being u !!
Hello!! Thank you for the compliments!! Im still learning about being butch myself. Honestly im not your typical butch (hell i cant even present masc cause i still live with my parents, im 19 for context) and honestly im still learning about butchness myself and i still feel so invalid in so many ways.
Honestly you will find your people, i didnt even know other butches existed offline until i went to Helsinki in early 2025 and i saw at least seven masc-presenting women in my 36 hour stay. Hometowns are usually filled with shitty people anyway!! I hate my hometown too!! You should move away and find your people. We're always here to help over in the butch dykeblr space!!
Thank you so much for the kind words!!!
