still riding the high of the gender euphoria from the other day when my friend was talking about home repairs she needed to do and i offered to take a look if she gets stuck and she was like "yeah, i'll let you know if i need another butch on the case" :)

#like. i felt like i wasn't allowed to call myself butch bc i love pink and still wear sundresses and such #but this friend is butch and she also loves pink and wears skirts and jewelry and even makeup sometimes #and like this sounds so silly typing it out but agh. we're so conditioned to feel the need to sort ourselves into neat boxes y’know?#but yeah it's like a) if she can identify as butch then i can too and b) the fact that she clocked me as butch #without me ever referring to myself as such #🥰#and yeah i guess i always feel weird about claiming a lable when i don't feel born-this-way about it?? like idk i used to be p femme #but rn being butch sparks joy so. yeah :)
