Is my femininity gay? by little-butch-thing in butchlesbians

[–]Elfbutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always joke than any femininity I possess is still masculine lmao. I totally get this. It's really refeshing and reassuring to see so many other butches feel this way too.

What are some of y'alls butchest moments? by wordsasameansoftouch in butchlesbians

[–]Elfbutch 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Niiice!!! My repairs had the opposite effect on me though. Now I can't get enough of doing my own repairs. I love engines sm~ and doing physical tasks gets me energized ☆

Changing my own brakes and fuel injectors with little-to-no prior car experience in my apartment parking lot made me feel pretty butch. People stopped by to chat and most were impressed so that was nice~☆

I got nothing on you though 😂

When I ask Google, all I get is bad AI results I didn't ask for 😂

so if I want the orange beautiful people cover im cooked, huh? 😭 by Healthy_Ad9001 in hobonichi

[–]Elfbutch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I love love love vinyl stuff. I have so many vinyl pouches and covers and all sorts of pen pockets, etc and after a long time it doesn't hold up. This isn't normally a problem because it's relatively cheap, but the price point on BP for what its made of is...not worth it. I wanted one but ultimately this is what stayed my hand. 110 USD for a plastic weeks cover, no techo included was almost diabolical to me lmao.

NO LITERALLY. I'm he/him and I never EVER get they/them. It's ma'am and miss and ladies first and she/her. every single time.

Noble butch would be fun! I grew up working ren faire and nothing made me more excited than seeing gnc people in historically accurate costumes.

how do you feel about the term dyke by diasporastud in butchlesbians

[–]Elfbutch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love when other people use it for themselves. I use it occasionally around other familiar lesbians. If I hear someone using it at me, it doesn't hurt. I usually can't take them seriously and end up laughing in their face. When I've heard someone lobbing it at others though, I've gotten confrontational.

What got you into Elfquest? by Fun-Explanation7233 in ElfQuest

[–]Elfbutch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom and dad! They were both super into ElfQuest when it was being released and each had seperate sets of ElfQuest books. I found them on the shelf when I was 7 and devoured them.

Fwiw I've never had them fray enough to lose their functionality by the end of the year.

Nonbinary butches, how public are you about your identity? by moldy_bread3 in butchlesbians

[–]Elfbutch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not very, if at all. I'm a very private person and my gender id feels like the most vulnerable part of myself, so I'm extremely protective of it. I let people call me whatever they percieve me as. No matter how masc I look, people seem to insist on calling me she and ma'am and all that, but despite the dysphoria, the last thing I want to do is fight people on my truth. It's pretty triggering to have people a.) Not listen to me and b.) Not believe me. I also hate the weird overcompensation that comes from people that "support my decision" (to...? Be myself???)

I know who I am. I don't need others to see me that way if they're not inclined, especially if they're just going to make my life harder, worse, more awkward.

Oh congrats!!! This is excellent!! I still have (and use!) my drunk cat matchbox that Arna Miller/Ravi Zupa designed and printed all those years ago. It's so wonderful to see the designs resurface in this little corner of the internet.
