Butchfemme Quotes

“My serious little moonbeam, I called Nirrim when I saw her in a silver dress, but it wasn't just the dress that made me say it. It was her way of being: her gentleness, her touch as soft as moonlight. But also her intelligence, her unexpected strength. She lit up the night.”
― Marie Rutkoski, The Hollow Heart

“Over thirty years ago, in a dark room on the Lower East Side of New York, a passing woman named Esther whispered to me, "Darling, raise your hips," and as I did, she slipped a pillow under me so that her lips and tongue could give me and her the pleasure we both sought. In that moment, this book was born.”
― Joan Nestle, The Persistent Desire: A Femme-Butch Reader
