Oh to be the butch husband of a pretty little femme. To spoil her and take care of her and let her steal my clothes. To live in a cozy little house with an herb garden, constantly smelling of baked goods and tea
yes i see that you're femme4butch, but do you recognize that being a safe space for butches comes before your attraction? how do you feel about butch4butch couples, or butch stone bottoms? do you give them the same level of respect as you do to butches who you find attractive? what about stone butches? do you see them as people, or as a outlet to receive sexual pleasure? do you enjoy butch friendship, or do you only hope to gain romantic attention?
what about femmes? do you look to build community with other femmes, or do you see them as competition to receive butch attention? do you understand butchfemme history and the history of your identity? and most importantly, do your prioritize community above your own attraction?
cute date idea: you come over to watch a movie. we pick a horror flick, and you use the excuse to cuddle up to me and hide your face in my chest. pretty soon you're in my lap, shirt pulled up, my hand in your panties, playing with your nipples and slowly circling my fingers around your clit, teasing you about how wet you got just from being close to me
I met an older nb queer (I estimate early 50s) at the club last night. It was a religious experience. We talked about mushrooms, AIDs, and Terry Gilliams movies.
They told me about identifying as a sissy when they were a kid because that was the only term they had for an effeminate man. We talked about gender and the way the world has changed then they passed me a very strong joint.
As the night wore on they leaned over and told me how good it was to meet a butch for the first time in a long time. They told me that when they were 16 and sneaking out of the house to go to gay bars the butches were the ones who took them in.
I had to hold back tears in the club.
There are futures for all of us. And if your future involves tophats with feathers, silly songs, and trippy jackets, then there's a future for you too.
