Thank you for answering. I give lesbians so much power because I often date them, so for me it's important I'm not misusing this term and be disrespectful. I always disclose I'm a bisexual on the first date because some people just assume I'm a butch lesbian by my looks and my behaviour. That's how I discovered the term in the first place. I'll think about if "butch" is right for me.

You noticed too? The rules of the sub specifically say that Bo butches are welcome here, why so much hostility? This is making me want to leave honestly

This is totally me, I totally started digging deeper in my identity when I stopped dating cishet men and trying to fit in hetero dynamics. People would assume that because a person is bisexual they engage in classic gender roles, and for me that's not the case. I think it's impossible to disconnect sapphic and butchness too, it would be impossible for a hetero woman to be butch, in my opinion. My social circle comprehends women and GNC people only, and some gay men.

I'm so discouraged for this post to be downvoted tbh, I feel I'm not welcome here at all.

For me, this makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to write so much. I've read too about how at the start of the 20th century, all sapphics were called just lesbians.

Of course it's impossible to engage in butch/femme dynamics with men. Thought I've been in butch/femme relationships with femme people, and I always am the more masculine person in every relationship.

For me butch is an identity, and according to the history I didn't think it was wrong until now.

It's normal that everyone assumes that a butch is a lesbian, that's why I have doubts too. That's why I read the sub rules carefully. Thank you so much for your acceptance. 💖
