So weird to me that there's a stigma against butch4butch and that there's this presumption that masculine lesbians must ONLY be into feminine women.

When you're butch, it's automatically assumed that you're into femmes (and I mean yeah fair) but there's also this secondary assumption that you couldn't possibly be into other butches. It's like an invisible line that you aren't supposed to cross, which is weird as hell, because why would two butches being together be different than any other lesbian couple?

#this is another case of butches being othered and masculine women not being treated as women huh #idk it's giving homophobia but like...from other gay ppl?? I don't get the logic #my current relationship is not even butch4butch but this is a message that I pickup on so often WITHIN lgbtq spaces #it's like butch4butch is on this whole other level of gay which...let's unpack that babes #I find this line of thought comes from feminine presenting women a lot which is weird because you literally think butches are hot?#Like you know what's attractive about them and the attributes that they have that would make someone find them desirable?#Is it gate keeping? Is it internalized homophobia? Is it because you think butches want what men want? No clue #butch4butch #destigmatize butch4butch love #reflection #thoughts #lesbian #butch lesbian #butch #masc4masc #masc #masc lesbian #mine
