#185 Red: NYE San Francisco

I met some great butches on New Year's Eve, including Red (a great friend of a great friend). Red is a genderqueer massage therapist who has id'd as masculine since he was a kid, "I secremed bloody murder when mom tried to put me in dresses." When I asked how he imagines himself in the future Red said he hopes to win the lottery 10 years from now." Red loves to write, loves queer culture and loves people too.

#184: Brahm in Northampton

A butch did a butch sighting! Love that.

"This is Brahm, he ids as genderqueer. He and his gf, Laura, just moved back to MA from GA where he was getting a degree in Historic Preservation. He's looking for a job and cooking at a great local queer-owned restuarant, The Green St Cafe."

#34 Jayez Butch Genderqueer

From reader Valaida, whose style I like quite much.

Here's what she had to say:

"This is Jayez. Jayez identifies as butch as a tribute to all the butches that brought Jayez up. Jayez was so excited to hear about butch sightings and the possibility of having a picture posted. Jayez also identifies as genderqueer and doesn't like the female pronoun, but I forgot to ask which pronoun to use. Jayez also referenced butches as a dying breed but hopes that there is room and love for all identifications. Jayez was trying not to smile to look more butch. Thanks Jayez, it was great to meet you. Enjoy your butch sightings and maybe do some of your own."
