@v_urq I like your continuum of butch to trans. Brave. I am on continuum but fear transphobic label because I choose not to transition.

@jessybeats Hey, thanks. I think there's a lot of black and white thinking around something that is much more of a gray area.

@v_urq Yes! But discussions are stifled. For me, transition would bring male privilege. Butch is not cis privilege: it's challenging norms.

@jessybeats I wrote this a while back: http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2014/07/25/a_butch_lesbian_rejects_a_non_binary_identity.html … More recently I decided to transition, but haven't written about it yet.

@jessybeats I agree that these discussions are stifled/hard to have.

@v_urq I really enjoyed the article. I understand your decision. As you say, it's a continuum... But hopefully not *always* a conveyer belt!
