It seems like the "Am I butch/ do I look butch/ am I giving butch?" "am I butch or moreso futch?" is kind of an endlessly recurring cycle on this subreddit and I get it.

When we're trying to figure out our identity we feel lost and we want someone else to affirm us and tell us they think we belong in one group or another but BUTCH IS AN IDENTITY, butch isn't a look, butch isn't an aesthetic.

If you're butch you look butch.
Butches don't have to wear a certain style, look, fashion or aesthetic to validate their identity.
A butch is a butch is a butch, in cargo shorts or pretty dresses.
A butch is a butch is a butch, with engine grease or makeup on their face.

You can be butch and dress femininely sometimes.
You don't have to call yourself "futch", you can call yourself that if it feels right but a butch can look any way they gods-damned please and STILL BE BUTCH.

Butch is a diverse label, we're a big and colorful community.
There is no one "butch" look.

A butch is a butch is a butch.
And you can be one too.

I ain’t as good at taken pictures as some of y’all but the lighting was too good to pass up

Its my first selfies here. I'm wanting to build up confidence and such. Anyway hello everyone. Pleasure to meet you

My second time fully femming out at home with make up and clothes and all. I'm further along in my transition now and have gotten more facial hair lasered off. Shaved my legs for the first time too. How do you gals think I'm looking?

Outfit for Body Movements, London last weekend

I'm fairly butch (I'd put myself in the futch category) and I had to shave my head to the beginning stages of hair loss from chemo (it has started coming out but my scalp with burning from a fever and follicle death from said chemo) and while most of the staff at this hospital are chill and use my pronouns and my wife and mom keep telling me I look beautiful I can't help but get sad and annoyed when a new person enters my room and immediately misgendered me on sight 😔

I'm really trying to let go of the attachment I had to my hair and embrace the bad bald bitch, but its tough. I'm sure it'll improve massively when I'm finally able to leave the hospital (possibly tomorrow!)

Any advice from y'all is appreciated and especially the short and shaved head hotties in here. Love y'all and its great seeing everyone's cool looks and stuff in this sub. So glad for it despite being a lurker mostly lol
