so often just admiring butches, whether from afar or more intimately, stirs up this almost uncomprehending excitement in me – it will hit me, all at once, how butches truly are the most beautiful people on the planet and just how goddamn lucky I am to know that and be able to appreciate them in so many ways. lucky. that’s how I feel around butches. lucky such gorgeous, incredible women would even give me the time of day.
