Our identity is often hard-fought and constantly challenged, and our core develops naturally with few role models. Most of us are visibly queer, with nowhere to hide ourselves even if we wanted to. Other Butches reject any degree of femininity. Some Butches are comfortable in their female form, while others experience body dysphoria in varying degrees. Some Stone Butches desire to be pleasured in ways that aren't feminizing, while other stone Butches don't want to be touched at all, prefering only to please their partner.
Most Butches are foremost into pleasing their partners.
Most want their Butch nature to be honored and appreciated, no matter what kind of sex or intimacy they engage in. In describing Butch , I would say it is a journey where we have all taken similar paths, wearing different shoes. Queer visibility is an issue for many out and proud Femmes. They can be flamboyantly feminine, or even tomboyish. Femme gender, like Butch, is not soley an outward projection of style, but an energy from within.
