Even the person who started this thread is not a Lesbian.....so really I would think we can talk about whatever we want to?
To me, Butch Lesbians are Lesbians.
Maybe report the thread if you don't like the content?
I don't understand the problem.
To me, this has been a Lesbian discussion of long standing.

I totally agree.
I have stated previously that I am like Rippetta Van Winkle. I went into my long-term relationship and the world was one way, I came out of it and things were quite different.
20 years ago, there were butches, femmes and androgenous women that, as a femme, appeared more butch to me than femme.
The circle of friends that my ex and I had identified as either butch or femme. Everyone identified as a female so I did not have to try to figure too much out, or worry I might make a mistake and blunder into saying something wrong.
Before you jump on me, I totally get there have always been transgendered folk throughout history.
What is different, however, is that I did not even know anyone 15-20 years ago, that took T and changed gender. I found out kind of by accident on You Tube of all things after my break-up when I typed in "butch-femme" and found so many young transmen. This was a new concept for me. No negative judgments about it, it just took a little bit to wrap my head around.
I kept looking for butch lesbians and had a much harder time finding them before I found the planet. I do still get confused about pronouns and I become fearful I will insult someone, so frequently, I check and recheck their profile and if I still do not see it, I just do not say anything, rather than make a mistake.
I appreciate the lesbian zone because then, I am fairly sure (but never 100% positive) that I can pretty much tell, that those that post are lesbians-unless of course-they identify as trans.
