Telegraph Room — Stone Out Loud |
|
| This class is an interactive exploration of sex and intimacy, both as stone butches and with stone identified butches. Stone is a heavily pathologized identity and if spoken about at all, it’s in hushed voices. At Butch Voices, we speak and we’re heard, loud and clear, and where we have a collective and individual responsibility to our history and future. Here, we’ll talk self-definition, stereotypes, consensually pushing boundaries, vulnerability, respect, fear, pride and where it all overlaps. | |

MacArthur Room — Writing Our Way Into Butch |
|
| Together, we will face our own blank page. Writing freely, we can discover deep definitions of butch. Writing in community has different textures and dynamics than writing alone in your private tower. After writing, we’ll have the option to read aloud from what has appeared on our page. Is butch all about the hair (flat top, d.a., or fade) and the shoes (high-tops, penny loafers, or wing-tips)? Is it self-image or social image? Is butch what we have never put into words before? | |
