Thank you for sharing all that and opposing the ideology of gender identity. I became friend recently with a twenty-something-year old trans man who is clearly a butch lesbian. I live in France and there is no butch community but a lot of (often toxic) queer communities. It breaks my heart to think that so many young masculine women can only find community and support by choosing the trans path.
Great article. Was there a contagion element with masculine lesbians becoming trans men? I felt it in the late 90s, although I’m not butch but a fems who digs butch women. In fact I know a couple of butches who said many in the community looked down on them bc they didn’t trans. I felt a lot of the transition was also due to societal unacceptable of masculine women, as you point out.
