Description: "Today, as I look around my queer universe, I realize just how invisible butches really are." -- Excerpt.

Milo Miller explores the question of "Where have all the butches gone?" searching for a certain visual representation. Miller describes how many of the butches they'd encountered in the past "simply grew up" and others are "now simply transitioning," with the rise in "FTM and genderqueer communities." They conclude that there's the perception that there's "not a need to present as butch anymore," that it was a visual signifier in the 1980s and early 90s and now the need to signify oneself is no longer needed when "it's ubiquitous in pop culture and media." --Grace Li
