“I am forever grateful for the strength and the skills that my grandparents taught and instilled in me. Their unconditional love and nurturing spirit helped me survive an abusive environment and taught me to embrace who I was - not hide it. I carry that with me in my work as a butch photographer, artist and individual’. - From the sweetheart that is @kershbranz , Issue 5, the work edition.

“What I’ve found in the existing research and literature is a gap in LGBTQ+ workplace research when it comes to those of us for whom passing as straight is not really an option.”.
.
.
In order to affect change we need folks in traditionally gate kept hetero environments to create the tools (like research) that enable us as a society to progress and evolve. Michelle tirelessly works and utilizes her unique skill set and position to push for workplace equality, lgbtq+ rights and social change. To be queer and to be employed by these systems can sometimes feel like a conflict in values, but remember, if it’s not you holding space, it’s just gonna be another cis het white man. Do not be intimidated by the gatekeepers. Stand your ground. Hold your space. Push your agenda.

Can I get a shout out and/or ♂️ from/to all the beautiful butch bottoms out there! .
.
Our love & sex issue has by far been the most popular, what do you reckon? Should we start working on another issue in the same vein?
.
.
To continue supporting butch visibility & butches in queer media go grab a digital download, they’re on sale at half price until we’re all allowed out in the world again! Link is in bio ☝.

And thank you immensely to everyone who’s already ordered a set, your support means the world to us, with your help we’re hoping to be able to gather enough funds to have issue 7 printed up-front, no debt on the next round would be the dream !

“Being butch has always been a happy place for me. Have people made my life a living hell because I, when you really boil it down, prefer pants to a dress? Absolutely. But, does my place of rest, when my brain has settled, and my heart is in a calm rhythm, feel like my most true and connected self? Absolutely. Do people tell me at every show how much it means to them to see someone that looks like them standing in front of them, let alone on tv (in admittedly the tiniest amount)? Yes, they do. These are experiences I am eternally grateful for and wouldn’t have if I “fit” into someone else’s idea of what it is to be a person.” - @rheabutcher - Directly quoted from our Work & Professional Edition (Issue 5) by @esthergoodboy

Visibility is SO fucking important ! You can’t be what you can’t see, and that my friends, is like one of the many reason why we exist, to make butchness more visible and accessible, not only to wider society, but to each other.
.
.
As we expand and try to figure out different ways to financially support this project, our promise is to always provide access to content both free and on a sliding scale basis. .
.
Digital Downloads are half price at the moment, you can grab em here: we.butchisnotadirtyword.com and for anyone who might like to read the mags but can’t find the funds, please always feel free to reach out via email, we’re happy to make accommodations and discuss [email protected]

“I came out to my family by letting them know I was moving in with her. We had to buy new sheets because we’d both been sleeping in single beds at our parent’s places. We got a Ninja Turtles double quilt set and based the colour scheme of our linen around it. When we bought a washing machine we made a fort out of the box. We painted it and made a periscope with those little make-up mirrors I no longer used. We got pet rats and named them after song lyrics. We pinned her first attempt at pancakes to the noticeboard in our share house. She got that motorcycle and didn’t even make me feel bad when I dropped it. She wrote poetry on post it notes. We danced in the kitchen.” - Katie Morrison recounting her first butch 4 butch romance as a baby dyke. they grow up so fast! .

“We reclaimed ‘butch’ as a positive identity, not just from mainstream society who used it to marginalise masculine women, but also from the second wave feminist movement who stigmatised us" - A little trip down memory lane with Laura Dettori Deriu, from Issue 3, our intergenerational edition. Which unfortunately sold out in print, but is still available for digital download.

Issue 4 Flashbacks - “When asked to write about love and sex for this issue of BINADW, I was immediately nervous. Although I think about the concepts of love and sex on a daily basis, vulnerability being so intrinsically connected to these ideas makes it difficult to write and talk about. As a butch woman, love and sex are often defined by others for me. They make assumptions based off my embodiment of a subversive masculinity. I now have the privilege to use this platform to share just one butch dyke’s perspective of love and sex, contributing to a larger narrative of those butches who have also felt the sting of assumptions. In every queer identity, there is always so much to unravel and learn about one another. I learn more about love everyday. I notice its absence, I flourish in it’s fullness. I have learned that picking apart love, investigating its inconsistencies, admiring its sound–even when it skips–has proven to be an act of love onto myself. One of the ways I explore love is to challenge myself to embrace love beyond intimate and romantic settings. I challenge myself to embrace a transformative love that extends to other dykes and butches in my community.” - @carlyriot by @esthergoodboy .
