  • SD Holman self-identifies as “butch,” a label that they and others in their community have reclaimed. Their inspiring story has challenged traditional definitions of masculinity and femininity in surprising ways.

    I'm so grateful I came out in Omaha in 1983 when butch-femme was still a thing. I met my first butch lover, and I wore my dresses and heels to our local disco where she was a bartender, the Stagedoor Lounge, and have never wavered in all these years from the butch femme dynamic.

    Thank you for this I'm 23 years old and I think I'm finally making peace with the masculine side of myself and I realize that I'm embracing more and more the possibility that I may be Butch and tbh it's liberating to finally be okay with myself.

    What a beautiful movie. Perhaps the deal with beauty is that when we are very young and very simplistic we find a very narrow range of things conform to the initial impressions of conventional beauty we naively learn as children.
    But we are supposed to grow, to encounter more of life, more experiences and learn and as we grow we see deep beauty, sophisticated beauty, novel beauty and the beauty of the complete soul made apparent.
    So the answer is more culture, more art, more experiences, more reaching out, more drawing in. Like this beautiful film.

    SD, thank you so much for creating this. It's awesome! I came out as a lesbian, fairly late in life. I identify as a feminine woman, but I love to explore my masculine energy, too, shaving my head, smoking an occasional cigarette, wearing a fine suit and shoes. I'm considering getting a tatt, as well, to celebrate this side of me. I no longer need to ask the questions I've been asking myself, so thank you, so much. PS Rodney is a pseudonym, my name is Jo

    Since fully coming out I feel like a snake, continuously shedding old skin, I got to the point where I was able to come out and confidently say I was a lesbian without fear of repercussion but I was still hiding. I was very feminine and wore makeup and lots of beautiful and unique jewelry. I did kind of like wearing makeup to an extent, but my real reason was because a. I didn't like my face and b. It made me look more masculine which I was afraid of the masc lesbian I was in love with wouldn't be attracted to me anymore. In other words I was doing it for others not myself. I've always had this naturally masculine side of me, ever since I was a kid, but with the way I see butches called all sorts of names or laughed at I was afraid to be "different" still. I shed what I believe to be my last layer of what I was hiding. And I am accepting myself to be butch because it's more or less to me an energy of knowing yourself so deeply and authentically and going completely against the norm to be this truest version of yourself. Of course this is rooted in sexuality, but still to stand strong against waves of criticism even in this modern world, I think is so important and inspiring for other women who feel similarly

    What if you don't feel like a woman or a man. I am genetically female but I don't feel female, I don't feel male either. I think I am broken. I dress with clothes that are utilitarian or things I may like like a Buc'ee's sweatshirt or World of Warcraft shirts. I buzz my hair I wear jeans. I have no dresses. I used to do the makeup the hair and everything in the eighties. Now I can be me in this day and age. I feel like a third human with no sex or gender.

    Sometimes some butch girls do not help to improve their own image . Some butch girls like to look really like thugs.. In my highschool the tomboy girls wanted to look intimidating and thus scare the other girls, especially the girly girls (most of the catfights in school there was a tomboy girl intruded, usually always the tomboy girl won the fight). When I went gymnastics and changed my clothes in locker room I saw that tomboy girls almost all of them ( most of them were very chunky) were wearing boxers for panties and very masculine clothes (never mini shorts or mini skirts). That of being snooping in the locker room brought me problems, once in highschool, a chubby and nerdy butch girl with glasses gave me a beating that left me with a couple of bruises on my face and bloody mouth and nose because she accused me of flirting her tomboy girlfriend ( I was just looking at the long, ugly boxers her girlfriend wore in underwear). So stop being a snoop in the locker room, haha.
