I knew I was a Lesbian when I told my friend at 13 that she's beautiful.
When I was a kid/teenager I always looked for the most Butch looking women when driving through the 'Gayborhood'.
I tried to impress girls and look more like a dyke by dressing the part of butch... which lasted all of 3 months. And then the cargo shorts and oversized tshirts had to go.
I had flings with women who were not Butch... and it was just that flings.
I started dating women that were tomboys. When the L word came out I had a crush on Shane and then even more on the Butches.
Finally in my midtwenties a Butch picked me up and took me home. It was only after several relationships with Butches/AGs/Studs... that I learned what a Femme is.
And I went, 'Oh, I guess I must be a Femme'.
I feel that I am Femme because my main attraction is to Butch and because I am a lesbian.
