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 .
