Q: What if I’m not butch enough?
A: There’s no such thing, dude. It’s not only about the powertools, or the flannel shirts, or how much swagger is in your walk. You may be a tech-boi, a corporate-butch, an intellectual stud… or any one of a bunch of other options and combos. All that matters is, if you feel drawn to this conference then you need to be there. You’re going to find workshops just for you. And chances are, you’ll meet some other butch/boi/genderqueer folks that dress just like you (and who may even share where they got that great haircut.)
Q: Will there be workshops for femme’s & other allies too?
A: good news is that almost all workshops will be open to everyone – only a couple will be ‘butch-space’. And there will be femmes and transfolk on panels & presenting too.
