At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter what you look like to be Butch but more so your attitude and know how. (and politics) but I find that features that people liked on me when I was more feminine are things about myself I wish were more masculine now, or at least not of the conventional Eurocentric beauty standard.
There’s the obvious T&A that I wish were smaller but that’s neither here nor there, pretty universal complication with gnc folk. It comes down to smaller things, like my nose or my lips that make my face look more feminine I think that causes me a lot of grief. It’s a sense of crazy imposter syndrome I have with my identity where I feel like I’m wearing the skin of someone who is Butch and when I’m alone with myself eventually that person suit will come off.

I’m very aware that butches make up a decently small part of the lesbian community and way smaller in scope compared to the larger collective lgbt community. Even within our own walls I sometimes feel like it’s more socially acceptable to be butchfemme then butch4butch, I don’t see much media for us in general and less so catered towards our kind of love. I could definitely not be looking in the right places of course but it can feel a smidge lonely at times, you know? Not knocking butchfemme relationships either they deal with just as many social problems as well in different forms

I’m decently early on dressing Butch, (though I do bind and am planning on starting T soon). When I dressed fem I had a lot of accessories I would wear, earrings hair clips headbands, etc. After finding myself and what makes me comfortable being butch I dress now I want to now, be feel less stylish then I used to be. I would dress in a lot of bring colors with large contrast but I feel like with masculine fashion it’s very hard to get fun silhouettes and interesting variations that isn’t just a shirt and pants or a shirt and a jacket. Any advice? Also sorry for poor formatting this is on mobile :(
