A dying breed?

Let me see, (touching my human self in the arms and legs, breathing deeply in my lungs...exhale..slowly)....and to steal from monty python I declare myself..."Not dead yet"

I think a lot depends on where you live. Here in the cold northern State of CT there are a lot of butchs...young and old and in between. There are a lot of B/F couples in various age groups that are raising up their children and step-children. I see them downtown, in the stores, at the town fair and driving down the streets. As a far as can see we are very visible.

Turtle..Butch Sightings..hummm now thats a great title...I invision in my mind a bunch of femmes packed in a convoy of Land Rovers creening the country side... armed with cameras, binoculars, and picnic baskets of deli sandwichs to lure us butchs out of our natural habitat for a rare photo shoot of the elusive butch on the streets.

I like it!

I think someone here mentioned the L word...I think the bit that was done with Kit and Ivan was well done...as for anyone being casted as a Butch on the streets, Hollywood in general fails us....but then again, it is my thought that Hollywood wants to present only what is appealing to the straight world not to my world or life experience. Its not a money maker and if portrayed acurately it will upset the gentle order of the world. and ..GOD we can't have that!

I even look at our subscription of Curve and there is nothing that remotely presents a butch as a butch on the streets! It trys to soften things up and to me its a sell out!
