Male homosexuals and female homosexuals are definitely different.

It's been my observation, that because the competition and gamesmanship among women (of all kinds) is so fierce and permanent, that women tend to overestimate the amount of 'girlyness' that they have or don't have depending on their wins and losses, and especially so on their wins and losses either at puberty, or at their 'gel time'. It's not really based on those cognitively-masculine-seeming things that to me really make a good stone butch.

It's also been my observation that women's brains are more flexible in general. I attribute this to your larger corpus callossum. That is to say, men's personalities and all of the individual modules of their brains are strongly fixed by the time they are at their sexual peak, and the same is true of women, *only their peak is much later*. I subscribe to Ms, own hardback copies of Steinem, belong to the National Women's Museum, volunteered for clinic defense for Planned Parenthood etc. But for all this feminist knowledge and my own temperament, a woman younger than 25 is most often still a girl to me. Lesbians fuse earlier than other women, but not as soon as men. I first thought it was because I was looking back at youth and being an old fart. When I see young men over just around 18-21 I am only thinking that they are young and strong and fresh, but not unformed.

This means you-all get more practice at seeing the various parts of 'you' as they come together and gel. It's your makeup for only suffering the same shit men suffer everyday from testosterone during the few days of your antiperiod. This is a roundabout way of saying, for all you straightgirls out there: Ya probably ain't as butch as you think y'all are.
