Hi Bev, I am really sorry to hear about this man who made you to feel unsafe and tried to rewrite your work. 💜 The thing is, lies are unsustainable and dishonorable-people can’t really get away with them forever. They will always be found out.

“I think butch is closer to what we would all be without patriarchy”

Gosh, I hope not! I love butch women and the distinctiveness they carry. I like how it differs from my expression and I enjoy the balanced dynamic it creates in a relationship. I think butchness (in its true form) is innate, and it’s definitely linked to homosexuality—so I don’t think most women can be butch even if they tried, and that’s okay! Butchness is unique.

There is room to celebrate us in all of our natural expression. There's room for us to have healthy expressions of masculinity and femininity without adhering to damaging ideas of what these things mean.

I want room to be created in our culture so all women can take off the mask and be who we really are without the pressure to fit inside a box. Luckily, some women are living examples of what this can look like by healing and simply being true to themselves. đŸŒș

Thanks again for your support 😉

Thank you so much. I think who we are is chosen very young, but I've known some Butches who didn't come out as Lesbians (and were het and married for decades) until later in life. So it IS complicated. I so agree and again, so appreciate your work.
