From Lesbian Game Changer Jenni Olson (@JenniOlsonSF): “To all the butches (and the people that love us): get yourself over to Instagram and follow Karen Tongson’s ButchHairQuarantine account  so we can all be in solidarity together as this one particular aspect of our current dilemma unfolds. And be sure to participate by posting your photos […]
Finally, I looked down at the floor and mumbled, “I think I might be a homosexual.†The doctor considered while he took this in. My heart beat frantically. It seemed I must be struck dead, that the stucco walls of his house would hate me, crush me. This was in the spring of 1957. The Doctor said...
Is it just me, or do all butches, soft or otherwise, carry alotta stuff in their pockets? My sweetheart has chronically empty pockets. I don’t understand how anyone can live that way. I guess I’m one of many dykes who took our Girl Scout motto to heart: I’m always prepared. Here’s today’s (and every day’s) […]

Hi my name is Terri… not BUTCH!!! I know this because the birth certificate that my parents received when I was born indicates this. All my teachers from grade school through high school called me Terri. My drivers license and military identification all indicate I am Terri. So when I hear “Butch” being yelled at […]

Hang on, it's going to be a wild ride!
