Most of the butches I've dated have considered themselves lesbians or dykes. And a proportion of those also considered themselves an additional gender along with being a woman. So they were lesbian And queer.
I like that. I consider myself lesbian and queer. Not just queer.
I can't say I'm lesbian only and I can't say I'm queer only.
One of the things I dreaded about coming home was the separation of this. One community lesbian, one community queer. I miss them being mixed together.
