When I am in the same room and spending time with other butches, I truly just enjoy their company. I have talked everything from sports, tools, home design, and knitting when in the company of butches. (granted, I didn't have much input on the knitting thing...but that is because I can't sit still that long. ) I just love being around likeminded people. People that know we are all different, yet we have some things in common too, whether it is something we have been through or whatever.

The post is the epitome of what this thread speaks to: things only another butch would understand. The 'butch bonding' luncheon at the Bash when it was in Oakland was this truth in action. None of us gave a shit about pronouns (we tried to be respectful), male, female, trans, white, black, brown, red, pony, doggie or any thing else. It was an opportunity to be with like-minded butch/masculine folks and to be just yourself.
It was an amazing thing and spawned the Butch Voices Conference.
thanks for saying this G.
