Hey, Met.
Third gendered/transgendered butch here, weighing in.
I don't have time to get into much at the moment, but I will be back to post.
I just wanted to acknowledge you and you beginning this thread.
P.S. Actually, I just thought of a possible discussion. Is there a difference between a butch who defines as third gendered versus a butch who defines as transgender? Are they similar, yet different?
Are people speaking to one's sex (male/female) when they call themselves a TG Butch, yet speaking to gender (woman/man) when they call themselves a third gendered butch?
What about a genderqueer butch? Or is that just another term for thrid gendered or transgendered?
