i know i've posted about labels before. still stuck.

soft masc feels lighter. soft butch feels truer some days. do people flip based on audience or am i just commitment-phobic about nouns.

    flip. both can be true across contexts. not a marriage certificate.

    i use masc on apps because strangers get weird about butch. irl i say soft butch to friends.

    audience-based labeling. illegal but effective.

    same boat. nouns are tools. you can own more than one screwdriver.
