Butch Feminism: A Definition

A Definition of Butch Feminism by MasterAmazon

As Female Identified Butches we put our lot in with the women of the world, whether they accept us or not, even if we don't benefit from their privilege since we're nonfeminine. We are bio-females and have no intention to transition to male, or have resisted the pressure to do so. We keep our bodies whole and intact in that regard and learn to love them. We take up our space in a unique way, resisting all messages to conform to that small box that men put women in, or that women put themselves in, for fear of being labeled masculine, dyke, wanna be a man, ect. We OWN our Dykeness, our Manly/Amazon ways, and choose to move as freely about the world as men do. We have our own rich herstory that has lasted for many, many years, decades, if not millenia. We have always existed, and we've always cracked the boundaries of roles and powerlessness foisted upon females as a whole...we show another way to be female, with our power and strength intact!
