If there is a problem with why FTM retain butch as part of their identity then I don't understand that attitude. We are the sum of our histories and where we are right now is an accumulation of sexual, gender and personal history and where we are right now might not be where we are in 2 months or 10 years. THe fact that we id so differenlty and have different journeys is something to be celebrated. I think it is up to us (meaning people here at this site) to remove the vs once and for all.
