From Masc to Butch: Essential Butch Reading
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 🧡
