Be Butch.
Have you heard of Tomboy Toes? They are a new shoe company designing for women, butches, trans people, MOC folks – and anyone who might want a more masculine shoe than those traditionally found in the women’s section. I have been paying attention to them for some time now, watching their progress and rooting them … Read more
Today is the 40th anniversary of the day Star Wars was released in 1977. I had a few choices this morning when I tried to decide what to wear to celebrate. Click here to see what I mean. Star Wars: So Many Choices I added a sweater vest to make my outfit presentable, and only revealed … Read more
There are some perks reserved for those of us with breasts. For whatever reason, Butches and men lose their collective shit when in the presence of a nice pair of breasts. You don’t agree?

Just look how the crowd absolutely loses its (collective) mind when someone starts throwing tshirts from the stage. You’ll … Read more
Tonight, while writing our Christmas cards, my wife got bored and started drawing on my arm with a pen. What did she write? “Butch,” of course. Just like Lea Delaria. Now, I would never claim to be as Butch as Lea. Nor would I claim to be as talented a singer as Lea. I would … Read more
I am honored to have been selected as one of the Stylish 100 by DapperQ. What a great compliment! Check out the list here (http://www.dapperq.com/2015/06/100-most-stylish-dapperqs-2015/). It’s Butch to be recognized for being yourself. Be Butch.
What does it mean to be one of the most powerful Butches in America? Does it mean that women won’t freak out when I walk in the correct restroom? Does it mean that people at restaurants, coffee shops, drug stores, service counters, auto shops, and on planes will stop calling me “Sir”?
