Good call, that’s why I refuse to learn people’s names. It’s just a stupid label I might get wrong sometimes and divides people, so why would I bother learning someone’s name?

(I’m being sarcastic, labels and pronouns are not this complex, just call people what they ask to be called)

I tried to check mine and was extremely glad but underwhelmed that all my accounts have personalized ads turned off. I’m sure Google has tons of info on me anyway though lol 🙃

Yeah, can’t say I’ve met many other butch trans women myself other than online, an a couple of magazines. There’s a butch magazine, Butch is Not a Dirty Word, that has some writings by trans butches. The first time I remember learning being a butch trans woman was a thing was a poem, called “Don’t Call Me Mister, 'Cause I’m a TS Butch” (TS used to be the common way to shorten the word “transsexual” when it was more in use) by Xanthra Phillippa in her zine Gender Trash from Hell that kinda made me realize that there were other trans lesbian woman that were butch.

As far as socializing with women, I think I probably should have specified above all else that I mostly socialize with queer people and in particular queer women (although some men as well). Most of the media I consume is lesbian stuff and it’s just easier to talk about lesbian films and culture with other lesbians than with guys lol

I don’t really know how I’d rate myself on a “Masculine-feminine” spectrum. My presentation is masculine, I’m a butch lesbian and generally stick to clothes, hairstyles, and accessories that lean masculine or androgynous. My identity is straightforwardly feminine as I am a binary trans woman and present myself to be readable as a masculine woman. “Masculine woman” is really the only descriptor that feels accurate.

The rest is pretty straightforward; my romantic/sexual orientation is lesbian, I’m mostly into women and could be into nonbinary people, but not men. I typically prefer socializing with women, neuroatypical people, and especially neuroatypical women.
