safe for trans butches, black and indigenous butches, butches of color, fat butches, disabled butches, & any butch, stud, or masc lesbian who supports the above
i (
@0ilvla
) made this account to appreciate butches, studs, and otherwise masc lesbians. i retweet their selfies, art, and threads as well as history/resource posts when i come across them. dm me/tag me if you want me to rt something!
i don’t know if the locked tomb is a book or webcomic or video game or podcast or what but i see a lot of that big redhead butch on my tl and i support them
fun fact: this picture i took of a shirt i screen printed and wore to sf pride 2016 went kinda viral on tumblr and every once in a while a friend will come across it in the wild on pinterest or something and send it to me
one cute thing about running this account is that sometimes people will add it to their circles, even if we aren’t mutuals on main and haven’t talked. it’s like “i like what u do, come have a look at my personal life” it’s nice

I ran into Butch in a good mood
‘Come to the pet shop down the street’
‘Be a good dog, I’ll buy you a treat !’”
i think i’ve said this before but i wanna reiterate:
if you no longer identify as a lesbian or as a stud/butch/etc please message me! i get messages like that regularly it’s so totally fine and i don’t wanna make u uncomfortable by continuing to follow and rt
me: “okay, today with our parent volunteers you’re gonna make a self portrait, this is the one I ma-“
kindergartener: “you look like a boy there!”
me: “I look like a boy all the time. does someone with a quiet hand want to tell me what a self portrait is?”

i saw a tik tok where someone made a slideshow of pictures of butches in the 80s (which included black lesbians) and many people were commenting “if theyre black they’re studs, actually!” it was such an ignorant display of people showing they see studs as derivative of butches
@islandyke
@mygenderisblack
and that they think the butch identity is owned by non-black (primarily white) lesbians. like they could not conceive that “stud” is it’s own, fully-formed identity with or without white gay culture to compare it to
i love when teenagers follow this account so much. i wish i had that much self-awareness when i was a kid. to know just who you are and actively seek out other people like you… heartwarming. proud of you.
not fun fact: ppl on tumblr with porn accounts were reblogging it and putting weird shit in the tags. i was 16. this is part of the reason i don’t rt minors! they don’t need more eyes on them.
since some “mspec lesbian” believer wants to make a meme about “opinions” as if our identity isn’t fought about between nonlesbians enough anyway... QT this with your favorite part about being a lesbian, or your favorite thing about us if you aren’t one
I just learned of Lenn Keller, photographer, filmmaker, founder of the Bay Area Lesbian Archives. Unfortunately, I learned of her because of her passing. She was an influential black butch lesbian, here is a profile of her from last year:
it’s an especially stupid rhetoric cause some of my favorite lesbians r trans because contrary to asshole belief you can be both trans and a lesbian ! 🧡🏳️⚧️🧡🏳️⚧️🧡🏳️⚧️🧡
& when i say regularly i mean it’s happened 3 or 4 times since i started, and i find new accounts to follow much more frequently than i have to unfollow. i don’t want to promote that stupid idea that masculine lesbians are disappearing cause they’re all transing their genders
if you find threads about lesbians and our history that are relevant to this page, please dm them to me. trying to use the search function on here brings up so many t/er/fs and very little Good Content.
i feel like i don’t see enough butches so i made this account to retweet butches’ selfies, art, and threads as well as history/resource posts when i come across them. dm me/tag me of you want me to rt something!
worried that im scaring off all the butch4butch applicants w the aesthetic i picked for beloved zine helpppp. guys its not jsut for femmes and butch4femmes pleas i want more butch4butch submissions please pleeeease on my hands and knees please
this account is run by a tme white non-binary butch, so please let me know if i overstep. also inform me if i rt/follow anyone who doesn’t mesh with my aforementioned tenets (i try to check but things could fall through cracks). radfems and other bigots are blocked on sight.
i want to be clear that this account believes that gender and sex are social constructs, lesbians can use any pronouns, trans women/people who experience transmisogyny can be and are lesbians, and non-binary people can be and are lesbians
while i’m here. i also love when femmes/fems follow. admiring butches/studs/mascs and participating in a shared community and shared history. that’s what it’s all about, baby!
if you post about your identity i may not see it and if you sb i may refollow thinking it was a twitter error or something but i won’t forget a message
if we r mutuals and u aren’t a lesbian, please lmk or sb and refollow. i don’t want to misindentify anyone or make anyone uncomfortable! same if u don’t consider urself a butch/stud/masc 🧡

“hey y’all I just got hit with some financial issues as I’m about to leave town to lay some plans for a huge move so if anyone has anything to spare I’d really appreciate it. Thanks a bunch.”

the kicker is that the person who made that tik tok is a 3/10 masc themselves. my brother in mid, don’t point out that some of us get girls out of our league, i would like that trend to continue
