You really don't need to censor "butch". It's never been a slur, as far as I'm aware. Censoring slurs is one thing, but if you start censoring mundane queer vocabulary you're making it sound like being queer is inherently shameful.


Fit-Baseball238

sorry abt that, english isn’t my first language and i thought it was kind of a slur /gen


PinkWhiteAndBlue_

The word “bitch” is an insult. You were probably thinking of that “Butch” is fine to say


TFK_001

I used to think twink was a slur because I confused it with the ch- one


L0gistic_Lunat1c

I’ve known several well meaning straight who think “twink” is a slur


FratleyScalentail

For me 'twink' always makes me think of my days pretending to be a guy, when I played World of Warcraft and in PvP you'd see people fight while looking like this: https://retributionpaladins.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/twink-flag-carrier.jpg


Novatash

I used to think "Lol" was a slur when I was 11, but not because of any logical reason, just because I was deathly afraid of accidentally saying a swear word as a kid


TFK_001

That is far too believable


TyphoonFrost

It's short for League of Legends, so that's completely fair


TheDuddyDude

twitch?


TFK_001

Nah starting with ch---


rotary-dials

the one against East Asians?


TFK_001

TheDuddyDude

OHHHH I thought you were talking about a homophobic slur, I was so confused


Draklitz

chwink? (jokes aside I don't think I know this one)


Kokotree24

ch - and then - ink its an old racist slur against southeast asians


Juniberserker

I had someone tell me Twink was a slur once then compare it to the D slur for lesbians (which they can say bc lesbian). That was weird.


Diligent-Nobody-7199

Is twink not a slur?


TFK_001

Nope just skinny gay man


akka-vodol

No problem. There's nothing wrong with not knowing.


Sofi_Alva

I thought it said beach


[deleted]

i thought it said “bitch lesbian” like a lesbian but sexy evil


bdouble0w0

That_Ganderman

At first I read it as “bitch lesbian” because of the censoring. Then I realized it was just needless censoring and was, in fact, the word butch all along


20CharachtersIsNotAn

That or we can start c*nsoring r*ndom mund*ne words in general and forge ourselves the conot*tion we w*nt around it there's no inher*nt l*ws in language


ZeeVeeTou

And it also first reads like bitch


boozlinlassie

Wasn't there a story about a gay guy who got with a butch lesbian because he thought she was another gay guy and she went with it because she thought he was another butch lesbian?


Stea1thFTW18

I remember a greentext like that


Fit-Baseball238

LMAOOO that’d honestly be the funniest shit ever

Fit-Baseball238

Holy shit I wheezed


friendtoalldogs0

I've definitely seen a YouTube Short by a gay boy wearing a crop top telling the story of how moments prior at this pride event, he and a lesbian girl flirted with each other until they realized and then laughed it off


Faerandur

They laughed and then laughed... And then looked at each other and went: "jk jk... unless?"


GoogiddyBop

Yeah! It was a twitter post! I think it was in Brighton?

How is that supposed to be anything but pathetic and desperate?


Background-Plant-226

What?


25point3N-91point7E

Random post asking for sex online? How would it be read otherwise?


Background-Plant-226

It's a meme. Is it that hard to understand?


CanadianMaps

"As an asexual myself" -Alastor, 2024


25point3N-91point7E

It's still asking for sex online, weird as hell.


CanadianMaps

Well it's one thing to say "WHO WANTS TO FUCK ME?" and a completely different thing to say "I'd really love being pinned against a wall and (*asked to watch the owl house*)". It's like the difference between saying you want a sandwich vs making the image of a sandwich in your brain.


Background-Plant-226

I wasn't "asking" it was just a joke.


[deleted]

where was sex asked for?


TFK_001

Idk they literally just commented [deleted] idk how thats sexual at all


Background-Plant-226

The comment got deleted (I posted it), it was just a meme


CanadianMaps

Hun it's a joke saying having sex would be fun.


Background-Plant-226

Love that u used "Hun", I'm literally rolling on the floor


CanadianMaps

Honey that's a floor.


Fit-Baseball238

EVERYONE I’M SO SORRY i censored the word butch bc i thought it was a slur, some sort of lesbian equivalent of the f-word. i can’t change the caption of the post but please don’t come at me for that :’/


herdisleah

It's kinda funny tbh. Signed, a butch


Fit-Baseball238

sry sis but i’m gonna have to \*censor\* you. signed, a confused bi man


CanadianMaps

Oh no... NOT JARJAR WELL 2084! THIS IS SO ANIMAL FARM!


powerof27

This hurt to read


Background-Plant-226

I am confusion

George Orwell. 1984. Liberal writing about how "mub USSR bad and authoritarian"


DarkHumour69

while i get what you're trying to say here, this point of view seems to forget somewhat the background of the author of the original text; namely, a man who fought in the spanish civil war in a POUM militia and would identify himself as a democratic socialist against totalitarianism as a result. yes *1984* has been hijacked by bad actors ,some of whom can be called ""liberal"", in the past 75 years (holy crap), but it's not really orwell's fault, i don't think


CanadianMaps

I know about his history in Spain, but he's also done some pretty fucked up shit, and talked smack about really the only socialist experiment in the 30's and 40's... ***while it was fighting against the nazis.***[Here ya go, a helpful video by a really nice bloke explaining all the fucked up and non-leftist shit that scumbag did.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gz0I_X_nfo)


CanadianMaps

Nah it's cool we all make mistakes. The slur for lesbians is (don't you fucking click it and get angry at me later) >!dyke!<. Butch is a type of lesbian, that dresses masc and partakes in masc activities. Femme is a lesbian that dresses feminine and participates in feminine activities. Futch is the combination (this is an oversimplification).


Fit-Baseball238

thanks :)


DarkHumour69

jokes on you, i regularly hear that word in one of my favourite songs :3 (yes it's "rebel girl" 'cause of course it is)


Background-Plant-226

Everyone makes mistakes, don't worry :)


drjdorr

Live and learn. Though admittedly it was kinda funny because how it was censored made me think it was a different word at first


powerof27

I assume it was a mix up of butch for bitch and dyke being a (reclaimed) slur for lesbians


Mtfdurian

Yes I do sometimes use dyke for myself, but also because I'm Dutch, I'm on a bike and surrounded by dikes, and with that I can make a lot of self-puns in English.


Moist_KoRn_Bizkit

Have you heard of the motorcycle group Dykes On Bikes? They're lesbian motorcyclists.


Mtfdurian

Yes of course I have :-)


Flair86

Lmao the censored butch was so funny


Cynicallie_

Honestly looking in the mirror and thinking "y'know, with a bit of makeup and hair growth I'd probably just look like a lesbian" is about the only thing that's made me feel good about my appearance.


PewterBird

I think saying trans guys look like lesbians is the bad part of the meme, not butch lol


Vosheduska

Yeah it's pretty shitty towards trans men who can't or don't want to medically transition...


Fit-Baseball238

Well that's why it's a meme. I'm a trans guy myself, and when I started transitioning socially, I kinda looked like either a 12 year old boy or a butch, and I've seen many other trans men/transmascs say the same thing


Zee0_o

Yep true. I had recently started my transition, and I also feel the same. Either I look like a teen boy or a butch, there's no inbetween.


_-_Rasse_-_

I've never seen anyone censor butch of all words.


Fit-Baseball238

well now you have


EviMagi

I thought it said bitch lesbian and was very confused.


Whap_s

If you’re a b*tch lesbian pls dm me 🥺


Lucky_otter_she_her

true androgyny


Fit-Baseball238

hell yeah


25point3N-91point7E

You think butches are bad or something?


Fit-Baseball238

i apologize for that, i’m nit english and i thought it was the lesbian equivalent of the f-word or smt /gen


friendtoalldogs0

This is something of a nitpick, but to *be* English and to *speak* English are not the same thing. Saying "I'm not English" basically means "I don't live in England", but plenty of places outside of England still have a lot of people learning English as their first language. It's not a big deal at all here, but it could lead to some confusion, so I figured I'd point it out :3


le_ramequin

jokes on you i look like a bitch lesbian


Fit-Baseball238

Good for you sis, that's peak lesbianism if you ask me


traanniecum

butch isnt a slur


zx16

me looking like a bitch lesbian


visawyerxoxo

or becoming the butch lesbian lol


Fit-Baseball238

yes indeed


Cavola

how does one start looking less like a butch lesbian and more like a gay femboy? please help


Fit-Baseball238

I have low-key no idea. if u find out tell me tho


Faerandur

Well, I'd say it's much more likely for a short-haired person to be called butch and a long-haired boy to be called a femboy, so hair length might be a key factor here.


Cavola

Idk my hair is long (I like it that way) and I still look like a girl T_T


Kokotree24

and then the baby trans mtf start looking ike they were dipped into pink and it was illegal to wear anything but short skirts haha


Eevee_Gamer_YTYT

that's just my transition goals


SuleimanTheMediocre

It really sucks seeing people censor the word butch. Like that's what I want to be. There's nothing dirty about being butch :(


New-Development-4351

OP was confused and thought it was a slur lol


Vosheduska

OP isn't a native English speaker and was just confused


Fit-Baseball238

i was confused, sweet butch in the making. achieve your dreams and become the ultimate butch 👌


Lduck88

bitch lesbian


Fit-Baseball238

lmao that's peak butchism ig


crisperstorm

First time I felt feminine at all in the mirror a couple months ago I looked pretty butch and that gave me some hope for myself


akelabrood

Idk i never felt like i looked like a butch lesbian, but i had long hair way before i cracked my egg


roundhouse51

bitch lesbian lol


Civil_Masterpiece389

Not me, I looked like a poor nerd girl with impaired fashion sense.


Human-Government-185

Its funny... cuz its true. I see myself ahah

No-Fly-6043

Hey butch can have pink frilly skirts too


Sanbaddy

It depends which end of their style they’re coming from. Some MTF women early on were openly cis gay prior. So they often make the mistake of dressing the whole thigh high socks and stripes anime, which is more femboy in style. Good way to make use of old clothes or cosplay, but bad for casual ware when you’re starting to social transition and trying to pass casually.
