Welcome to Butch Lesbianism 101 Send this list to a TikTok masc in your life and watch a literate butch be born.

In all seriousness, this list started as a joke but then turned serious when I realized there are still a ton of books that feel like essential butch reading to me that I still need to get to!! I’m trying to prioritize nonfiction here (with some exceptions)! Check out my other lists for fiction recs with butches 🧡

So much LGBTQ+ history! A lot of this is centered in the US, though there are some exceptions and I'm trying to grow it all the time. Note that I have an HIV / AIDS list that a lot of queer history, especially around the 80s + 90s. So check that one out for more

history / theory books i have on my tbr!!

a masterlist of non-fiction books (including memoirs) on Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. many of these are from my classes in university. however, I have not read all the books on this list, so some are included based on the summary, reviews, and of course your suggestions!

Whether it be information about gender affirming care, advocating for trans students, or history of gender, this list has it. Basically, it's all things about trans, just not fiction.

Not necessarily trans, but may feel trans, have a trans author, trans allegories, you get the picture. I haven't read a lot in my adult life, so this may be for those boys too who haven't. Definitely open to suggestions to add to the list!

A bit of history, non-fiction, and possibly fiction if i think it belongs in this list.
