I have two friends who identify on the "cusp" of ftm transsexuality. Until I met them, I had very little knowledge of the "Super Butch" end of the lesbian culture.
One thought did occur to me that I was similar to them on the other end of the gender spectrum. I operate as my chosen gender without actual surgery and so do they in many ways-I think. Obviously I can't speak for them. I do watch with interest their interaction with the lesbian community. Again, I compare it to my limited interaction with the male gay folks.
Of course, as with everything in this internet/social media driven world, others have concerned themselves with way ftm trans men interact with the lesbian community. It comes from Canada's "Xtra".
Here's an excerpt:
"The female to male trans community has long found refuge in the lesbian
community but the trans community's growth is causing some re-thinking
of the relationship, according to some activists.
“The comment I hear a lot is there aren’t going to be any butches
anymore because they are all going to turn into men,” says author and
activist Patrick Califia.
“I think that the truth is that as the trans community becomes more
visible it is going to impact the structure of the lesbian community."
