#butchlesbian

i don’t know where the confusion happened but ummmm no i’m not going to allow someone to yell at me or treat me mean just bc i’m the butch and can “handle it”

“mean femmes” are supposed to be mean to those who are being lesbophobic/mean to butches/transphobic/etc. it doesn’t mean verbally abuse butch lesbians

i see this so often and it really irritates me so many people including other lesbians are just so mean to gnc lesbians

i love femmes don’t get me wrong but some femmes i see seriously are just mean towards us ESPECIALLY if they aren’t attracted to butches

Intimate portraits. Crowd pits. Play scenes. Protests. My pals. Grassroots nights. My community.

I'm only just getting started on documenting lezzers n queers in all our forms. There's a lack of representation of butchness and female masculinity in mainstream media. When queers are photographed for campaigns n such they're often curated in appearance with a skinny, feminine, and 'palatable' look for the wider audience. This ain't what I'm about.

I'm Lou, a butch lesbian from Portsmouth, UK interested in the in-between and unseen moments, reframing from a lesbian perspective. My photoshoots aren't ever in studios, for me it's about getting to know the person to understand how they want to be seen. I also live with incurable cancer which has profoundly shaped my approach to photography, influencing my perspective on intimacy and survival. Each year I spend hours chatting away to new people at these occasions and I bloody love it.

I'm Manchester based and if you'd like to book a shoot there's a link in my bio. It's £60 an hour and you'll get plenty of images in that time.

I also sell my work, £15 inc UK postage for A4 print to stick up on ya wall of filth.

Thank you geezers x

Butch en Cavale c’est le nom de ma 1er BD en auto édition, un projet entièrement indépendant ! C’est une façon pour moi de mettre en avant une romance lesbiennes entre deux butch cowboys 🧡

"Dans l’Ouest Américain être une femme indépendante vaut la prison, Nurh survit en se faisant passer pour un cowboy. Quand son cheval est volé par Oscar, un hors-la-loi recherché, elle croit tenir une occasion d’empocher la prime.

Mais le face à face se transforme en périple inattendu avec une vérité impossible à taire : aucune des deux n’est l’homme qu’elle prétend être."

Rendez vous le 12 Novembre sur Ulule !
