I think this essay helps to give a look into the life of women who love butch women, and also gives some insights into the divide between “modern” lesbians and the “old guard.” In effect, the writer posits that the primary reason there are fewer butch lesbians is because they are instead becoming transmen. And how this is not a betrayal of the lesbian community, as some believe it to be.
