I agree Cheryl and am glad to read your post.
My girlfriend gets and reciprocates (or initiates) the nod frequently.
She does not even consciously connect the nod with either her butchness or that of others until I smile with delight.
As an invisible femme, I get the recognition by association and it does feel good.
It helps me to feel a part of our community.
