Terminology question

Here let me confuse you some more..............

There is gender identification and there is sexual orientation/attraction. Two different critters although many folks do confuse them.

sooooooooooooo...............

butch and woman are my gender identifications (you can have one or more)

my sexual orientation is lesbian and more specifically I am, 99% of the time, sexually attracted only to those who are femme.

Gender Id and sexual orientation are what you pick for yourself. No one else can tell you who you are and who you wanna fuck. Have fun!

from what i am understanding, those who are calling you straight, ... thinks that butch just means a-wanna-be-man. that reflects a closed mind.

i'm up in age lol. sometimes i get really tired of all the labels. but i suppose, we do need them, ... to sort things out for ourselves. in all honesty, i don't care. been there, done that. i've always told myself that i am aloud to fall in love with whomever. a label won't deny me that. like the old saying goes, the heart doesn't ask permission. i may very well fall in love with a man before i leave this ole world lol. and that would make me bisexual or straight or something. we figure things out as we go, ... pick up bits and pieces along the way. some we keep, ... some we throw back. it's a great feeling when the light bulb clicks to the on position and we see folks "like me".

whatever the label, it's yours. in the end, it only benefits you. just traveling along, figuring things out. good luck, toss.

(little side note lol. i know a heterosexual butch woman, or two, three, ect.)
