Simple Things
Written by Guest Butch, K Its the simple things that make life worth living. Recently there was a lot of….interesting response to Sasha’s blog about marriage.

Butch or Bitch… it really doesn’t matter.
Written by Guest Butch, Raye K brought up the subject about nature vs. nurture when it comes to being queer or straight.

Author Confusion
Just a really quick note here: A few of you have mentioned not realizing that a particular post was not written by me. While that is very flattering, that you see similarities between my work and that of my Guest Writers, I realized that the tiny little byline under the title isn’t really big enough, [...]
To Strap or Not to Strap…
Written by Guest Butch, Raye Ok so lately I have seen a lot of debate about the strapon question and I would like to address it. I have noticed that there are many femmes and “gold stars” in our community who are quite proud of the fact that they do not partake in penetration via [...]
Is it any wonder?
Written by Guest Butch, K Sooo for those of you who aren’t aware, your parents probably ruined you while you were children. Not by fighting in front of you or smoking and drinking too much, no they probably let you pick your own clothes out when you were a kid. Which according to our neighborhood [...]
Gay Bashers
Written by Guest Butch, K My neighbor seems uncomfortable with me. I was outside today with J and the kids…when our neighbor pulled up.

If You Write It, They Will Come
I was pleasantly surprised when not one, not two, but several butch writers responded to my call for the “Write Butch.” I have felt for a long time that there is not enough information, education and general acceptance of the butch dynamic here in LA and probably in other parts of the country as well.
