• Love going back through archives and seeing some of our first issues with fresh eyes. Reminds us of how much we’ve grown as a magazine and as a community and excites us to contemplate how much further we’ll expand. Can’t believe it’s been 6 years! Here’s to another decade or 10 more 🙃. For those of you have havnt got the memo yet, we did a re print of all our back issues this month. That means the whole set is available for a little while until they sell out again. We’ve got about 40 copies each of our earlier issues left. You can grab the whole set or single issues and anything ordered before November 1st is guaranteed to arrive before Christmas. Link in bio. 📸 by @georgiasmedley - of one of our long time friends, supporters and possibly one of the first butch dykes I ever spoke to and saw.

  • 💔😓⁠ ⁠ A powerful excerpt drawn from our very first Issue. ⁠ ⁠ BINADW was never intended to be more than one stand alone zine, but the community response was so great that it became clear there was a need for more. 6 years on I'm SO glad we've persisted and continued to create space and visibility for butch folks all over the world. ⁠ ⁠ Visibility encourages self confidence and acceptance, and when you heal the individual you make great strides towards healing the whole.⁠ ⁠ We've done our first re-print of Issues 1 - 4 for the first time in over 2 years, this means, whilst stock lasts you've got the chance the own the whole set; A materialised piece of butch history to enjoy now, and for others to peruse for years to come.⁠ ⁠ Unfortunately it's so expensive to re-print them that we're unable to do it very often, we've got 100 copies of each up for grabs - all orders before November 1st will make it in time for Christmas - no matter where you are in the world. ⁠ ⁠ Visit the link in our bio to grab a single issue , or the whole set.⁠ ⁠ Happy Monday Friends 🙏.

  • “There is an undeniable stigma around presenting as butch in LA which makes dating nearly impossible. But what’s even more challenging is finding community.⁣ In a city of almost 4 million people, the key step to finding community as a lesbian is meeting your “first person”⁣ - someone who can bring you into the queer scene and point you in the right direction. As some of the first butches I met in Los Angeles, Ashley and Cannon were a huge part of my discovering connection in this city and have since become important friends.” - @_amyo__ Issue 7 - The Butch4Butch Edition.⁣ ⁣ 📸 by @estwardogoodboy ⁣ ⁣ Where all the LA butches be at ?! 🙋🏻‍♂️’s up below plz.⁣ ⁣ #butch #lesbian #lesbians #dyke #dykes #dykesofinstagram #lesbiansofinstagram #cutelesbians #cutelesbiancouples #dykestowatchoutfor #butchesofinstagram #butchisnotadirtyword #lgbtqia #lgbtqiaplus #qpoc #qwoc #gay #lagay #california #gender #butchisnotadirtyword #butchonbutch #butchfashion #butchplease #butchstyle #butches #tomboy #tomboystyle #tomboystyles #tomboyfashion #lesbianfashion

  • “I will never forget opening my eyes after waking up from top surgery and seeing G there by my side. I felt their hand grasp mine in a perfect swirl of softness and firmness, and there was an instant understanding that I was safe with them beside me, even in the roughest waters of my gender. Just nine months after that moment of looking up at G from the hospital bed, we stood in the very same place for the same reason. I helped G into a purple paper hospital gown and a pale yellow pair of non-slip socks and kissed their forehead. I spent the next few weeks washing their back, as they had done mine. We laughed as I tried—with mixed success—to wash their hair in the sink, the warm water cascading all over the cold tiles and our bodies, similarly marked with change. These anecdotes are the closest I can come to explaining what life feels like with this incredible soul.” @butchbritneyspears - Issue 7 - The Butch4Butch Edition 📸 by @estwardogoodboy #butch #butchisnotadirtyword #butch4butch #gay #gaypride #gaypride2020 #lgbtqia #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqiaplus #lgbtqpride #brooklyngay #brooklyn #gaybrooklyn #queer #queers #queersofinstagram #dykesofinstagram #gender #theythem #sheher #gaygaygay

  • “We were both raised more or less as “sons” alongside our brothers, latchkey kids with messages both verbalized and unspoken that led us to see ourselves as solely responsible for our own physical and emotional strength and care. The draw to masculinity grew and deepened over time, and our relationship to it similarly shifted and evolved with our ability to grow and understanding of our sexualities. We’ve both survived several painful relationships with women (and some men) before settling into much healthier lives with our respective partners. With them, we have both been able to finally make some serious strides in our emotional growth and healing. Two butch women attempting to shed all those familiar forms of repression, and instead choosing honesty, vulnerability, and accountability. Being butch can be a really lonely experience. While there’s the potential to be a powerful bridge between genders and gender non-conforming humans, it’s also a unique space to occupy in the world - and it’s really powerful to know that there’s a lifelong friend who can mirror that for you who’s just a phone call away.” - @hframz - The Butch4Butch Issue ⁣ ⁣ Heather & Gabrielle 📸 by @a.w.klass ⁣ ⁣ #butch #butchisnotadirtyword #butchplease #butchesofinstagram #qpoc #gender #gendernonconforming #fucktoxicmasculinity #lgbtqia #lgbtqiaplus #lgbtqiapride #gaypride #gaypride2020 #pride🌈 #pride2020🏳️‍🌈 #dykes #dykesofinstagram #dykestowatchoutfor
