Butch Genderqueer
I feel mostly male on the inside, but I have absolutely no desire to surgically or hormonally modify my female body.
I am butch for a variety of reasons. "Butch" is an adjective meaning masculine; I enjoy playing the "butch" role in my relationships and would not have it any other way; I especially identify with the piece of queer history butches fought for and participated in; I also identify with the idea of using "butch" as a gender, which - for me - is a genderqueer identity; genderqueer meaning not solely male or female.
I also identify as queer, a dude, a guy, and a dyke... because I can.
