Welcome to the internet’s - and maybe the world’s - only library dedicated to butch-femme.

It is fundamentally gender-nonconforming to be a female homosexual — which is all the more reason not to go “become a man” about it. At SBD, we recognize butch and femme lesbians and all women-identified female lesbians for their bravery in refusing to be liquified (non-womaned) by queer post-sex, post-body, post-passion erasure.

Pretending sex doesn’t exist is the simplest way to protect the status quo. Below, we’ve selected quotes from theorists’ work that generally aren’t the most-cited ones, because…you guessed it: they’re about lesbians. They’re often about female femininity and masculinity in conversation, how female variance threatens male supremacy, and why woman-identified butch-femme relationships are explosively threatening to the patriarchy.

You won’t find this collection in a university.

NOTE: This library is massively under construction, although every theorist’s page has at least one note. It needs about 200 more woman-hours to get it to a reasonably representative place. If something you read “slaps,” email stonebutchdisco@gmail.com and we’ll rustle you up a PDF.
