To ensure that many of the photo's here are properly attributed, I found quite a few in this article and on the photographer's website. Her name is Meg Allen.



"BUTCH is a beautiful, intersectional, and eye-opening photo collection by Meg Allen featuring dozens of butch individuals who show the range, fluidity, and subjectivity of female masculinity.

As Meg Allen describes, “BUTCH is a celebration of those who choose to exist and identify outside of this binary that has never allowed any accepted crossover. BUTCH is inviting viewers into private lives of female masculinity and suggesting a resilience in nature’s insistence that there is more depth to masculinity and femininity than societal norms care to entertain.

Who is policing gender presentation, and why? The fashion world has been asking the same question for ages. Are we ready for the answers now? It is undeniable that we are born with the sex organs that we are born with, but why are so we threatened by what others choose to claim as their gender presentation? Are we ready for these explanations? Or are we more afraid of the question?”

We invite you to consider these questions as you check out these amazing portraits of bull-daggers, dykes, manly women, female husbands, baby butches, young studs, androgeny, and genderqueers."
