This is my first thread so I hope I don't fuck anything up. I wanted to create this because an anon in /snow/ said that there was plenty of butch threads on /g/ but as a long time lurker in this board there wasn't.
The image I used is Storme DeLaverie, the butch drag king who actually started stonewall and not those TIMs.

>Opinion on the terms butch? Masc?

Butch is clearly the superior word and every time I hear someone use masc it makes my ears want to bleed. Masc just seems so regressive.
>Are you stone, switch, or a bottom?
I'm a heavy bottom lean because all of the butches I've dated previously were sadly stone and I had to adapt kek.
>Are you butch4butch, butch4femme, or butch4both?
I'm butch4butch ideally but so many butches in my area are butch4femme so I'm incredibly lonely.

Being butch doesn't come with a set dating preference. If you're insecure about dating butches because of bisexuality you can look for other masc bi women as well, but they are fairly rare.

Same… I’ve been losing weight trying to lose my big thighs but I’m closing in on underweight and they haven’t shrunk at all. I wish I could dress in nice men’s clothes so bad, I stare longingly at men’s dress shoes wishing they’d fit me, but I’m short too so my feet are too small. I’m so bitter. I look at men’s clothes I want but can’t wear and seethe and seethe. I have so many ideas for what I’d wear if I could fit in/ pull off men’s clothing but I’ll never get to fulfill my fashion dreams. I would dress so epically. If only.

No. 395567

>>395561
How short are you? You could try looking into vintage fashion from 1920s-1930s. Back then, it was in vogue to design men's clothes to create the illusion of an hourglass shape, so for example pants tend to be very wide at the thighs and also very high-waisted, which leaves room for the hips. I find them actually more comfortable than women's dress pants that are usually made of shitty thin fabric and also weirdly low-cut and form-fitting. People were shorter on the average that then, too, so finding small men's clothes is not impossible. Hell, you could try to find something fitted for a teenage moid, because back then even kids were dressed in nice clothes.
>>395560
Weak getting mad like this. Also if you know anything about clothes you'll know that the differences in the way men's and women's clothes are cut are not limited to anatomical necessities, but that clothes designed for women tend to be tighter, smaller, and more overtly feminine. Compare a tuxedo and a "women's" tuxedo, they are not the same design-wise at all.

If you like 40s casual style you can pull the look even with a pear or hourglass figure. The silhouettes of that era allow you to look good with any body type because heavier bottoms fit nicely in those pants and leaner or more rectangular women also look as good. If you have small shoulders you may want to look for shirts with shoulderpads, they're usually easy to thrift (sewing the pads doesn't look too complicated either) and those will compensate your figure. As for the shoe complaints, if your feet are really small you can buy schoolboy shoes, designs are commonly very outdated and can easily pass for vintage shoes. They're mostly made in leather and neutral tones so they're good for casual or even formal occasions.

One of the key aspects of being butch is not giving a fuck, Just cut your hair short and get clothes that you want to get. Worrying too much about how people see you to the point where it stops you from being who you want to be is gendiethink. Godspeed anon.

I've seen masc be used in so many contexts its meaningless to me. Hyperfeminine tifs consider themselves masc because they're nlogs. Zoomer lesbians call themselves masc and they typically have longer hair but have a fuckboy style.

>Opinion on the terms butch? Masc?

Do any other younger lesbians feel more comfortable using the term Masc rather than Butch when describing yourself?
I'm very masculine, both in the way that I choose to present myself and my personality/Interests, so much so that I identified as FtM when I was a teenager (and have since then peaked), but the label "butch" has always feels very restrictive to me.
Since it's an old label with a lot of history I feel like there are a lot of requisits and fashion specifics that must be met before allowing yourself to call yourself a Butch, meanwhile with 'masc' you just need to be masculine(in whatever meaning there is to that word) and call it a day.
There's also an aesthetic difference that's hard to put into words, picrel.
Idk, I feel like most people will find this retarded, that's why I wanna see if there's anyone else experiencing the same thing.

I definitely don't think there's a unified real difference like 'one is softer' and people just choose the word that they think sounds cool in their age group/region/culture. I feel like masc leans younger and cooler in 2024. Butch also attracts the people who mythologize butch/femme culture and lesbian history a little more. When I say there's no defined difference, it's like…

Is a weak, retarded mindset. If having big breasts and thighs prevents a woman from dressing masc she was never really masc to begin with.
And this post >>395460 makes me think she feels like she looks too much like the "unattractive" fat butch when she dresses masculinely kek. "It only looked right when I was at an 18 bmi" like what does that mean? Looks right to who? Men? Topkek. I feel like there's a lot of fear of being perceived as an overweight, doughy butch woman itt for some reason. A lot of nonnies itt think that only women born with small hips and long legs have the privilege of dressing masc/butch. Like, if you're short and kind of doughy you'll never look like the model-thin, model-height masc model of your dreams. Ever. Nowadays masculine cuts are popular for women's clothes. Like it doesn't have to be this complicated and hard kekkkk.

I'm a zoomer and started calling myself butch some years ago, when I could finally get a haircut and buy clothes without parents hounding me lol. But before that I spent years wishing I could be butch(I was dangerously close to id'ing as ftm too kek, but tifs and their friends harassing me scared me out of it).
Honestly I don't pay close attention to this stuff and only started realizing months ago masc was a lesbian identity and not just a general descriptor. I still call myself butch because it feels right to me. I guess I worry occasionally if I don't count as butch to other people(not for any real reason, I just sometimes hear what people love about butches and realize I'm such a wimp kek), but I prefer it over masc. Masc feels a bit general for me I guess? I guess it's like if someone called me sapphic/wlw/queer instead of lesbian.
But that's just what I think. I've noticed a stark difference between the people getting called masc and the people getting called butch, which may also be why I feel more comfortable with "butch".

Butch/masc here and I think it's whatever works for her, done well. Whether she's the suit wearing type, the youthful alt type, sporty, whatever. Just like anyone else's style you can do you in the best way you can. Intentionally fitting clothes (well fit, yes but if your style is baggy and street you can do that badly or you can do that well regardless of anyone liking your personal style), being clean, smelling good and having confidence in what you're wearing is not yourself. I find people expemplifying themselves to be one of the most attractive traits so even if I'm not into a woman's style (I'm married and not butch 4 butch but I wouldn't rule it out at all) her being confident and putting effort into herself is what's going to attract me and make me find that appealing on her. I feel the same about myself. I wear what I feel good in, accentuates the features I like about myself and that I like.

Individually it depends on taste. Some women like the dapper suit wearing butches, some like the greaser types some like the preppy almost fratboy types. It's finding who likes what you're doing.

It's kind of a retarded mindset to think only thin and angular women can wear masculine clothes. I will forever think a woman is weak for being so scared of not look "attractive" in masculine clothes even though they say they want to wear masculine clothes kek. First, not trying hard enough. Second, it's such a feminine sort of personality trait to hem amd haw over looking too masculine, or masculine in an unattractive way while wearing masculine clothes. Something tells me these anons don't want to come off looking like a bulldyke. They want to be masculine in an almost fantastical way, in a way that says "I'm a cool masculine woman with a natural boyish femininity, I actively chose to be masculine", which just feels like a feminine sort of fashion trend thing and not, IDK, because they truly want to dress masculinely. Like basically just saying only "pretty" girls can be masculine in the right way. Like truly if you care that much about coming across as the right sort of masculine woman to the people around you, you're kind of weak.

Frankly worded but I can't help but basically agree. That line of thought needs some serious self reflection. Unfortunately women are socialized very unfairly but as a lesbian and especially as a butch/bull/masc lesbian it's a gift to yourself to try to dissolve as much of that male appealing mindset as possible. Honestly imo being a lesbian is an absolute blessing and we should work as hard as we can to get rid of as much of the garbage instilled upon us and absorbed as we possibly can.

>basically just saying only "pretty" girls can be masculine in the right way.
Literally not saying any of that (I tend to like women with pretty unconventional looking faces, for example, I love a gummy smile) only saying I personally prefer a slim figure as my personal preference, and personally, as my personal preference, don’t like the opposite. Sorry to say. I didn’t even realize I liked masc women for many years because they were all bulldyke types, as you say, and that’s not attractive to me in the slightest. Once I saw some actually elegant looking women dressing in nice men’s formal clothes it finally clicked for me. Again, me personally. So because I don’t have the body type I think (personally, in a personal way) looks good in those clothes, I don’t dress in them because I’m unsatisfied with how the clothes look on me. It’s that simple.

maybe it's because i'm not butch butyeah, I've always had the exact opposite anxiety where I love how put together and classy men's clothing like a sweater over a collared shirt looks, but I would only lean into more masculine fashion if I had bigger boobs and more curves so I still looked distinctly feminine, so girls having this opposite worry make me so confused and honestly jealous

nobody in this thread has posted a "bulldyke". All of these women are tall, fit, and attractive. It's not a male appealing mindset, its just a common observation that SSA women are attracted to tall, slim butches like picrel. Women who are tall and slim have an easier time fitting into butch looks and are more attractive to other women. idk why this was so controversial.

I think doughy bulldykes are hot. Skinny androgynous mascs are also hot but something about very female fat distribution + very masculine presentation makes me feral.

I also like butches who get accused of dressing like teenage boys though so maybe my taste is questionable. But you know what the constant teenage boy comparisons piss me off.

I agree, i'd look way better if i wasn't short with a hourglass figure, but like the other nona pointed out, tailoring helps a lot. I'm a bulldyke and 'british schoolboy' swag defender and all but there's a reason why skinny/edgy mascs are so popular.
The most attractive butches i've seen were very well put (regardless of their build), had well maintained hairstyles, a good understanding of menswear. This concern is not just 'girly' (?? Who cares kek), in fact these women were masculine in speech and behavior, and so obviously lesbian that it has exactly the intended effect (attracting female eyes). I'm more of a 'slovenly, wears cargo shorts and t-shirt' woman myself kek but i appreciate elegant butches.

I'm the one that posted about the bi women thing. It's not exclusive to them, but I find they're more likely to claim it. I think many young women are like >>395610 and find butchness too prescriptive or restrictive and prefer the all-encompassing vagueness/freedom of masc. I think many women that have been surrounded by trans acceptance also expect butches to just be classic FTM-lite in a sense which just puts even more women off identifying with it.

I build muscle and wear men's clothing yet I have long hair, I've always hated the idea that you can't be called butch unless you have short hair (and it's always a buzzcut or a fuckboy undercut) because it's just all sorts of retarded. My hair is an unkempt long mess similar to how male metalheads wear it, there's really nothing that feminine about it. At least it keeps the worst of the "will you be my moid lite femnigel" kinsey 2s away.

Based take, nonny. I'm a straight out goblin who wears technical sportswear because I prioritize practicality and comfort and I've never had a shortage of women crushing on me or complimenting my style because I'm confident about who I am, and I know how to put outfits together with what I have. It's dumb as fuck to be so worried over looking "too much like a bulldyke" and obsessing over looking "too masculine" or "not masculine enough", the people who will give you shit for it wouldn't like you no matter what you looked like.
>I will forever think a woman is weak for being so scared of not look "attractive" in masculine clothes even though they say they want to wear masculine clothes kek.
>They want to be masculine in an almost fantastical way, in a way that says "I'm a cool masculine woman with a natural boyish femininity, I actively chose to be masculine", which just feels like a feminine sort of fashion trend thing and not, IDK, because they truly want to dress masculinely.
This, I agree completely. Some people want to be butch in looks, but lack the confidence to pull it off. They either need to let go of that paranoia over how people perceive them as a woman or accept that they should be looking into another label they feel more comfortable with.

“I personally don’t like they way masculine clothes fit on my body type” is such a normal, nothingburger statement and yet a couple of anons continuously lose their absolute minds over it and start insulting people for what is a very common sentiment among all types of people— “I’d like to dress in XYZ style, but I don’t feel that it fits my frame. Bummer!”
The only other types of people I’ve seen try to moralize and chastise people for that sentiment are thrift store bargain bin chaotic mashup style gendies who take issue with people thinking anyone looks bad in anything, ever. You know the type.

Yes. Both butch and femme are identity signifiers that are inextricably linked to lesbianism and carry a lot of historical significance (at least, in the USA). It was how lesbians made themselves legible to one another in the 40s, most notably emerging in working class bars. Through fashion, they could succinctly communicate their respective "roles" in the relationship. Radical feminists (more specifically, "lesbian" feminists) in the 70s were intensely critical of butches and butch-femme relationships, and actively attempted to undermine butch identity, which was largely successful. Somewhat unrelated, but I think this is why "masc" became popular as a broader term for bisexual women who dress masculinely and also for lesbians who don't relate to the identity roles associated with being butch (ie, traditional chivalry and courtship rituals).

A lot of people just use butch as a catch-all for any type of female masculinity, so that makes sense. You will probably be read as butch in your day to day life, especially if you date a woman, but less so if you date a man. Which is also why the butch and femme labels have a unique legacy–they are all about existing for women as women, and both make the other more socially visible. But I get why bisexual women (especially woman-leaning ones) sometimes use the term, there isn't really a good non-lesbian equivalent except for masc.

Okay nonas how do I butchmaxx? I've been butch/gnc my whole life but I feel like I've been very laissez-faire about it. I don't have an actual style, I just wear loose jeans or joggers, graphic tees, hoodies, sneakers (like vans or adidas), etc. Picrel is pretty accurate. When I want to dress up I wear nice jeans and a button up or a sweater and the effect is always 'little boy at church' for some reason. I want to look like a proper adult, not my boy cousins in 2014. I don't want to be wearing office wear every day but even something like what >>396002 mentioned with her tech sportswear would be cool. Does anyone have any tips?

I looksmaxxed/butchmaxxed primarily by using the "old money" look. My old style was basically what you posted and although I had a few suits for work/fancy events, I still felt "meh" day-to-day; I had very little confidence. What I love about old money is that despite the name you can quite easily do it on a budget as it's based around classic, easily available pieces of clothing. It can also suit different body types; you can go with the baggy shirts and jumpers/cardigans if you're on the bigger or skinnier side and if you've been working out then polo shirts are fantastic for showing off in. I wear stuff like picrel a lot and I feel great in it. There's a bunch of YouTube videos on the style, I recommend starting there and then looking at pictures of old movie stars, the "classic Hollywood" types: Paul Newman, Sean Connery, those kinda guys. You gotta get a good haircut though, that's a non-negotiable part. Work out your face shape and then google recommended haircuts for it. I shot myself in the foot for so many years by having a trash haircut. Anyway, this might not be your cup of tea, but it worked wonders for me. Godspeed, nona.

I was "blessed" with a fridge shaped body so I mostly wear male street wear like baggy pants, oversized t-shirts, hoodies, layers etc. Picrel is very similar to the look I usually go for, but you always have to thread the thin line of coming across like an adult instead of a 14-year old fuckboy. I get compliments on my style all the time and get told that it's refreshing to see a woman be the way I am so I must be doing something right.

It's too easy to blaze through cartridges without really taking in how much nicotine it is. I fared much better rationing myself three cigarettes a day, then two, then only smoking them when stressed and having my one or two weekly cigars as a treat. Bonus effect: my wife thinks it's sexy when I smoke a cigar. Her phone background is me looking like a genderbent Andrew Tate kek.

My feet are too small to fit in men’s shoes, but I’m OBSESSED with men’s dress shoes.

I'm the opposite and my feet have been too big for women's shoes since I hit puberty.

I know it's cringe but I also know I wouldn't want to be stuck in your situation as a fashionfag that loves men's footwear. If you have a big budget another option would be custom-made shoes.

Thank you anons, your advice is very appreciated. I think I want to aim for what >>396462 mentioned. It looks similar to what I already wear and I'm afraid if I go for too big of a change I'll feel like I'm larping (I also just really hate formal wear). I think if I put more effort into finding and cultivating good pieces I could pull off a thrift bin moid sort of look. I already have some nice vintage shirts and shoes and my favorite current outfits look like picrel. I'm also gonna go through my wardrobe and get rid of anything that looks too much like a teenage boy would wear it.

I'll admit though I really don't know what the hell to do with my hair. I've got a pretty strong bone structure so I look best when you can see my forehead. My go-to has been a basic buzzcut or a short taper but it's boring as hell and I feel like it makes me look like I'm not trying. When I was younger I usually had an undercut or the dicaprio center part thing and I looked good but I wouldn't wear either style now lol.

I'm attracted to both butches and femmes so I can't help but raise an eyebrow at them acting out like that, is it some form of lesbian pickmeism or something? It's fine to have preferences and not be attracted to masc women but it's the aggression that makes it so strange, I've had a lot of them simply blurt it out at me that they're not into butches when it wasn't even the topic of the discussion, like they really just wanted that one thing out there in the open as soon as possible.

Sounds about right. Like the masc gay men who are obsessed with looking super manly and not like "a sissy faggot" and shit on effeminate gay men, we also have the normie femmes desperate to gain heterosexual approval and not "look like freaks" in front of them. I often hear some people complain that butch/femme couples are "heteronormative" but idk, I feel like the couples who want to keep up appearances to look like two normal feminine women in a normal relationship (that homophobes can digest as being just two best friends) are way more compliant with heteronormativiness.

AYRT, i've thought about this and at least gay men are marginally more honest about actually wanting and enjoying masculine partners. The same cannot be said of many 'LGBT'/qweerios, they very much are attracted to butch/mascs but like to play hard to get so they go 'ewww but you're a toxic manly butch teehee'. This is how you end up with bihets complaining about the lack of extremely fem4fem couples (often implying anything else is repulsive) while dating, having sex with and loving manly men. They do enjoy masculinity (including in women), they find it hot, validating for their fetish, comfortable and familiar, but they won't admit it because fem=good and masc=bad. With lesbians and serious bisexuals it's more about them dating butches repeatedly but then crying about their supposed hypermale alpha toxicity. I totally get not being attracted to butches (i myself skew towards feminine women) but that's not really the issue, it's the constant pushing and pulling that irks me.

Honestly, I keep hearing about this stereotype but I've never met a butch who was like this, literally never. The only masc women I've met who are basically just misogynistic "one of the guys" pickmes are always straight and take huge offense to being presumed to be a lesbian. Like you shake their hand during introductions and the first thing to come out of their mouths is "BTW I'M NOT A DYKE" kek.

Anyone else GNC without really trying? It’s definitely more effort to be “feminine” than to be masc/neutral, so it’s kind of funny that the less “conforming” option is the least difficult. Women in their natural state are seen as less “feminine”, so by not wearing makeup and wearing more comfortable/practical clothes most of the time I’m unintentionally considered masculine. Of course I have a less curvy body type maybe it’d take more effort to be seen as butch if I had large breasts/hips.

I’m the opposite. I really want to be seen as GNC but due to my feminine build and stature, I always get read as feminine despite not wearing makeup. I even cut all my hair off, even shorter than a pixy cut, very very short, but people just say it just looks “retro” feminine like the very short cuts from the 60s (probably because I need some hair on my forehead due to 6head situation and that makes any haircut look feminine). I also can’t find men or boy’s attire that fits so I just make due with the most androgynous neutral women’s clothing I can find, which probably doesn’t help. It’s really really hard and I’m sort of giving up on ever being seen as masculine. I just wasn’t born right.

Yes, definitely. I think it's both my personality that's geared towards a "masculine" communicative style and body language, as well as my appearance and body type. This sounds like a retarded gendie thing to say, but dressing in a very feminine way makes me feel like I'm in drag or wearing some kind of ridiculous costume, whereas more androgynous or masculine clothes seem to suit me really well. I felt insecure about it growing up when people kept forcing me into a feminine role, but nowadays I'm happy about being a GNC woman.

I'm the same, I've always been very masculine-coded naturally without ever trying. I'm probably the kind who would get posted to the MTF thread and called a troon by anons measuring hands and facial features kek, I guess it's something I've been pigeonholed into since birth but I've come to terms with how I am. I had a short femme period to feel more accepted but like you said, I felt like I was wearing a costume comparable to drag and it made me miserable, especially because I kept attracting unwanted attention from men. And it's not only looks-wise but also how I carry myself, I was raised as "one of the boys" and continued this long into my life before making actual female friends yet ended up sinking back into it choosing a career in a male-dominated field I had dreamed of since childhood, so my personality is very bold and brash to the point I can sense I'm not being considered a woman most of the time. I get he/him'd a lot for that and while when I was younger it was flattering, nowadays it's degrading and annoying, a constant reminder that I'm not acceptable as a woman. I've had women call me their "boyfriend" as a compliment and it honestly makes me want to vomit.

Ayrt, personality definitely plays a role too. Female socialisation kind of failed on me so I spent a lot of my childhood/adolescence trying to come across in a way that fit in more. I just couldn’t. Doesn’t help that my traits just didn’t fit with what society deems feminine anyway. I ended up giving up because why should I bother? To a degree I believe even regular feminine mannerisms are a result of female socialisation. I remember seeing an analysis of female body language and how women really shrink themselves in compared to men. I think the photo they analysed was of Taylor Swift and another female celebrity sitting next to a man. Their legs were neatly crossed, hands on their lap, arms close to their body with their elbows facing inward and taking up hardly any space. There’s a demureness to it. The man had his legs completely splayed, arms resting on his knees with elbows facing outward and had body language that was much more casual and less “shy”. In acting in a way that’s relaxed or unconcerned to others’ perceptions I’m considered to have a masculine energy. In being assertive in personality and not being a sugarcoater/saccharine I’m seen as less feminine. I think being attracted to women over men is also a factor - heterosexual women, regardless of how feminist they are, will subconsciously try to present in a way that is accommodating or appealing to men.

That's the case for me as well. I have short hair because long hair takes so long to dry, I need to wash it more frequently and I'm too lazy to style it. It's also more practical in hot weather and when I'm exercising, which I do often because I find it enjoyable. I also feel lazy to shave my legs and arms most of the time, I only shave my face because I have the genes where I get a mustache when I don't. Same goes with makeup, nails etc, it's too much effort. And as for clothes most trendy things are so revealing and unpractical. The dresses, the crop tops, the very short shorts, the form fitting suffocating clothes, the baggy clothes you can't move around in, the shoes that look… It all sucks and it's all so much expensive. I don't have money for basic things, how can I waste it on outfits? I'd like to be more feminine to fit in more and I don't experience the whole feeling in drag thing that some anons do, but it's just so difficult to look feminine if you're poor as hell. In the end it's just too much effort. I'd like to look more feminine in appearance but with my personality I'm fine as of now. Most feminine personality attributes like being submissive, indecisive, emotional and affectionate seem like things that don't benefit you at all in life but instead benefit those around you. Why would anyone want to be these? Why would someone want to feel 'protected' when you can just be independent and do whatever the hell you want? What if the person who protects you is gone, how do you defend yourself after?

Does anyone else hate the word "masc"? If you're a lesbian, you mean BUTCH. "Masc" is for terminally online gendies. It's the same as "sapphic/wlw/queer" for me.

I'm assuming it's because the term "butch" is kind of stigmatized but also gatekept. Like you could be masculine-looking with male clothing and behavior yet wear makeup and long hair and people will often side-eye you if you call yourself a "butch" since their mental image of a butch is a gymrat bulldyke. I find "masc" easier to use as a blanket term than "chapstick" or "futch" or any other "butch but not quite" one.

Is it not? I'm not trying to be disrespectful, that's just the stereotype I got from radblr because there was this one magick and butch obsessed blog that kept insisting butches were magical beings that no one understands or could possibly comprehend and I think she always meant that type of butch

I suspect women who say shit like this are tranny/androgynous men chasers or have psychosexual shit going on, their 'butch' identity is constructed around spicy heterosexuality and mentally jerking off to their 'gender non-conformity'. Sometimes they are solely attracted to women (including TiFs) but have to find a way to say it without being branded as a 'transphobe'. I think the artist is type 2 because she doesn't do the weird 'ohh i'm so masculine, i'm rough and dominant arrrr' LARP common in type 1 (looking tough and being a gentle nurse is such a normie butch lesbian thing kek). Sadly just a gender-poisoned lesbian

I saw the entire post this was cut from the other day and it was a "nonbinary transmasc" coming out as a butch lesbian and honestly, good for her. As for top surgery and HRT, some hardcore butches did do that before the age of troonism while still identifying as women (Phalloplasty is absolutely ridiculous butchery though). I actually did think that she was pretty spot on saying that she's attracted to masculinity but not men, which is entirely a valid thing in my opinion and not discussed nearly enough since it's still a taboo topic, a lesbian is immediately slapped with the "bihet" stick if she's into really masculine butches which just feels entirely degrading to me and plays right into the gender ideology's idea of gender being only about expression and not gametes. If butches were allowed to be unapologetically masculine we wouldn't have a bunch of young girls calling themselves men.

I'm pretty sure what's being pictured here is her seeing a man and being disinterested but when it's an actual woman she's immediately interested, not a man trying to pull the she/her trick.

I you haven't noticed both drawings of the bumble profile show the same man, he's a ''cis'' man in the first one and becomes a woman on the second one, and since it's the same profile picture under the same name (Cris) I'm assuming woman here means ''transwoman'' this time. She's immediately interested because now Cris is not a regular dude, he's a woman now so the girl finding him hot is totes valid

People like this would never say it, but they're not the type to date TIM "trans butches". They all want T4T yaoi relationships. The entire comic is about how that person and other women can go on testosterone and look like that and still identify as butch women in a "trans-positive" way. They're not talking about males.

No. 409672

>>409670
I think you're reading in too much of the comic, in this specific panel she is thristing over a man, Cris. There are lots of nb young butches that do what you're saying, but in this case, unless she hasn't been able to convey it properly in the comic, it looks like a young girl willing to date a lazy tim because she can keep calling herself and that dude butches. I think the entire comic is about taking away the true meaning of butch to fit in a person of any sex and s orientation, that's why she says something as absurd as this

I'm not retarded, you seem to be too benevolent with her for some reason. These are twits from her xitter, she seems like your average fujo tif yaoi brainrotted straigh girl, adopting a twans identity to be able to play in the oppression olympics while making it her entire personality. The comic can be interpreted both ways I guess, but I'm inclined to believe mine is the right one and Cris is just a man trying to pull the she/her trick, and the author falling for the trap of dating a chaser only because he will validate her use of butch.

But i actually was sexually harrassed by a chinese butch girl in school who could only speak chinese and almost no english. she would follow me around, grope me, laugh about it with her male friends, try and flip my skirt up and was constantly asking me out.

I'm un-feminine but not really 'butch'. I've been told i walk exactly like male relatives, that i'm not really girlish nor boyish, that i move a certain way (makes them wonder if i like women) but in retropsect it just points to SSA and/or autism, not masculinity. I had a fake butch phase where i wanted so bad to be butch, it was fun but as genderspecial shit became ubiquitous i felt compelled to really cling to butch as a coherent label, maybe because being something was better than failing at typical femininity and masculinity. Most of it was standard teenage cringe and i grew out of it pretty quickly, so no big deal, but i don't think i'm the only person who had such a phase. I come across mascs who very much give me the impression they're trying too hard. In truth, it's an energy. Some women just act in a way that screams 'masculine lesbian' and it's not reliant on a look, it's about the way they move their hands, limbs, the way they speak, it just activates my gaydar to an extreme degree. I think a lot of it has to do with needing to fully fit in a neat little label because you're uncomfortable with who you are for whatever reason, and maybe trying to woo bisexuals/curious straights. During my butch phase i was fascinated by really butch women, wanted to be the most masculine, when in reality i was naturally neutral/uncaring, and i was drawn to women who are a mix of both fem and masc (in style). Deep down i knew all this, which created a kind of malaise. I wonder if women who lean hard into butch when they're not realize it (and just do it to attract women) or also feel weird

I'm a tomboy bi and I wish I knew other women that were like me. I wouldn't call myself Butch because I've only ever heard that word used in the lesbian scene but I frequently am mistaken for a man in public by strangers. From what I've read online there seems to be a lot of discussions that imply bi and lesbian women have a bit of contention between the groups and don't get along for many many reasons but I can't tell if that's just niche internet echo chambers filled with hyper pozzed idpol retards or if there's a grain of truth to it. Either way, I wish there was a way for bi and lesbian women that were butch/masc/tomboy to get together and hang out without making anyone else feel like they're being crowded out. I just want all my fellow gender non conforming ladies to hang out and maybe flirt a little if they want I just love butch women okay

They could fully be a cis man just larping and you wouldn’t be able to know, be honest. No one’s saying they ARE a man, but anyone who would be attracted to something that looks identical to a man would be attracted to men, just like how someone who is attracted to something identical to a child is attracted to children even if they weren’t actually one.
