While the visibility and acceptance of trans women have grown globally in recent years, this progress has primarily been within a traditional, heteronormative narrative. But a growing number of trans women identify as butch lesbians and challenge this heteronormative narrative. The existence of butch trans women has created a debate on where they fit within queer and lesbian communities and how their gender performance fits within traditional butch/femme understandings of lesbian or queer relationships. This article seeks to explore the intersections of gender identity and sexual orientation that butch trans women experience when they engage with lesbian and trans communities.
近年来，跨性别女性在全球范围内的能见度和接受度有所提高，但这一进展主要是在传统的异性恋规范叙事框架内。然而，越来越多的跨性别女性认同自己为“布奇女同性恋者”，并对这种异性恋规范叙事提出挑战。布奇跨性别女性的存在引发了一场争论，即她们在酷儿和女同性恋社群中的定位，以及她们的性别表现如何契合女同性恋或酷儿关系中传统的布奇/ femme理解。本文旨在探讨布奇跨性别女性在参与女同性恋和跨性别社群时所经历的性别认同与性取向的交叉点。
