I've just had one of the most unusual experiences of my life – being in unknown city surrounded by 400 Butch identified - women, dykes, bois, trans folk, youthful studlets, aged bulldykes, feminist she/he's, rapper-aggressives, classic and soft butches, and every other kind of lesbian Butch I've never seen nor heard about.
Yeah – I was there at the start of a new movement being born within the great family of LGBT people, but here the "B" stands for Butch. Yes, I'm talking about the first ever Butch Voices Conference in Oakland, August 20-24, 2009.
