What I mean when I bring them together:
Beyond the joy and delight, the squeeeing and the exclamations of “OMG ADORBS!”, I’m fascinated by the juxtaposition of a baby nestled in a butch’s arms. Perhaps this is a secret among butches, but having loved them for at least 10 years of my life, I can say quite confidently that I love their vulnerability. It’s not at all easy to march through the world shattering gender norms at every turn. So when a butch holds a small child, relatively unaffected by gender (in a cognitive/behavioral sense), it is a simultaneous exchange of healing and freedom. Maybe I think about this too much, but that’s what I see. Every single time. I see hope and a new world."(source http://butchesandbabies.com/ABOUT" target="_blank )
