The article also seems to treat the Butch identity as equivalent to the use of butch as a descriptor of masculinity. I understand this is a bit difficult given butch can be a sexuality label, gender label, expression label, and/or simply an aesthetics label; but the confusion of these reduces clarity. | The article also seems to treat the Butch identity as equivalent to the use of butch as a descriptor of masculinity.

:{{ping|Fluxjupyter}} looking at the article, it seems that every instance of "woman"/"women" is not interchangeable for "person" or another generic word. For example, in the sentence "the writer Jewelle Gomez muses that '''butch and femme women''' in the earlier twentieth century may have been expressing their closeted transgender identity", we can't change the fact that Jewelle Gomez referred to women specifically. The article already uses "butch" without specifying "woman" frequently ("woman" appears 27 times, "butch" appears over 100 times), basically whenever the data or view it describes isn't specific to women. That said, you're welcome to suggest edits! This is a wiki, after all :) --[[User:Ondo|Ondo]] ([[User talk:Ondo|talk]]) 04:34, 7 May 2024 (UTC) | |||
