butch femme is just SO queer
Apr. 6th, 2006 04:52 pmI read this on my flist just now. A sweet young butch/genderqueered friend of mine wrote it after a night of raucous dancing with myself and some other alpha femme types.
Went to sleep reflecting on my many misguided years of equating very-queer butch/femme with heteronormativity. I had no idea, until the past year or so, how very hotly queer butch/femme is. I don't think there's a way to explain how butch-femme is queer, other than experientially.
Can I just say how happy it makes me to see someone really get the queerness of butch/femme? B/F dynamics are so very very close to my heart, and it is one of the main reasons that I will never partner with a transman...because (and I speak only FOR ME here), that queerness is lost when I partner up with someone that is male.
I'm a dyke who loves butches, plain and simple. Yes I still care about (and find attractive, and sometimes sleep with, oh yes) transmen. Being pro-butch does not mean I am anti-trans.
It just means that my heart will always belong to butch dykes and genderqueers...those that have not chosen the path that ends in checking M on the driver's license box.
