Well judging by commentary in other threads I guess after talking ourselves blue in the face:
- It's emasculating to refer to butches using female pronouns if you id as male. Why? I can see where it would be insulting to not be referred to as you wish, but I thought all butches were butches and no one thought of us as less than. I thought females could be just as masculine as males. If so why would it be emasculating to refer to someone as she? Hmmmm
- Butches are looking for femmes to defer to them because we would like to be referred to (by all, not just femmes) by the right pronouns.
- We blame femmes more than butches for slipping up on prounons even though we have said over and over it's not about honest mistakes
