Greyson what an awesome post. Thank you so much. What you said about what I have been trying to say is absolutely correct.

I also very much agree with how all butches have experienced varying degrees of privilege and discrimination. It is also still true that male is valued over female- including in both real time and online queer communities- and that needs to be recognized by everyone before anything can change. Getting defensive or being in denial will not change anything.

I believe we all have a responsibility to be aware of our own impact in the communities we participate in and be aware of the inequities that exist. Otherwise nothing is ever going to change.

You also point to some other variety important factors in regards to history as well as differences between white male and/or masculine privilege and those for people of color.

Thanks again Greyson. Awesome post.
