I want to take care of a butch by learning new recipes just to cook for them, baking them sweet treats, sending them cute texts throughout the day, buying them books for their bookshelf, massaging their sore muscles, leaving a kiss mark on their cheek every time I leave etc etc I just want to look after a butch like they deserve <3
some of y’all still can’t recognize the differences between platonic, romantic, sexual, mentor-student, and familial relationships, both in fiction and reality, and it really shows
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.
