This is a bit of a generalization that I've heard before. Not all do id that way.

I don't get it. Don't much care for any hierarchy, actually. But, I think I just don't understand what this is all about. How and why this insinuation is even made. Thanks.

Also, all of the less than/more of garbage about butches or femmes makes me crazy! Why are we so wrapped-up in this kind of stuff? Has it always been like this in the B-F community? For a community that shouts about diversity being such an important aspect, the narrowness in what is butch or femme and to what degree is astounding.

OMG, I'm cussing!!

Uh oh. . Cuss away.

There are so many identities in our community, I suppose it is quite easy to be confused by them all and, according to where someone lives and their exposure to various identities throughout their lives, most may never be exposed to them all. And then, just when someone has it all figured out, the identities will evolve. So, it's not about the identities, but the people who carry them in their hearts and on their sleeve, so I agree with you about tearing one another down. It's garbage. It's almost like the intolerance we feel towards our community as a whole has been encapsulated and turned inward. Energy, especially negative, doesn't die...it has to go somewhere and so we use it to strike out at our own.
