I am a transfem nonbinary butch! I first started transitioning around age 16 in high school, but I finally got on DIY HRT little over two years ago.

I joke that I transitioned twice. First from male to female, then from female to Butch. Re-embracing masculinity and making it mine, and being able to provide the appeals of it to others in a way that doesn't make me miserable has been very important to me.

I could talk for hours about butch identity, and how it intersects with my transness, and how amazing it feels to be something that feels quintessentially me. And I most certainly will at some point. It is not just my aesthetic, it's also my gender, and furthermore, my sexuality too.
