Butch Conference Coming to LA

As a gay man and a member of the LGBT  and Leather community, I know my share of lesbians, many of them very masculine in their appearance and mannerisms.  I would call them "butch".  But recently it seems that the word "butch" has fallen out of favor, so it was a pleasant surprise to see "Butch Voices LA".  It's a conference for and by butch women and trans people who identify as butch. 

I have a lot of women who identify as butch in my life and I am glad to see this particular flavor of genderqueer getting a chance to have their own space and conference.  The conference is on Oct. 8–10 in West Hollywood, Calif.
