I hope you have someone in your life who:
Likes to run her hands over your slick-as-velvet head after you get your hair cut real short.
Calls you “baby.”
Tells you she gets turned on when you wear that ball cap backward. You know the one.
Likes when your necktie matches her dress.
Rubs your back when you’ve pulled a muscle.
Thinks every flannel shirt you own makes your eyes shine.
Is okay with you wearing your “dressy” T-shirt to that event you’re going to.
Tells you you’re cute and you believe it, even though you’ve never felt cute a day in your life.
Is the yin to your yang.
Asks you what you’d like her to wear when you’re going out on a date.
Still flirts with you regardless of the fact that you’ve been together for more than a decade.
Traces your scars (the ones you can see and the ones you can’t) with her fingertips when you’re lying in bed at night.
Makes you feel like a rockstar, even though you don’t play any instruments.
Tells you your tattoos are sexy.
Appreciates the hell out of you. Not despite those things that make you you but because of them.

You’ve found the love of your life. You deserve it, Rae.
Thanks, WW. I keep telling myself that.
Gosh, this is gorgeous. Several of those points apply to my lover and me… thanks! ♥
You’re welcome, purple. Feeling appreciated these days. Hope you are, too.
I long for what you have…
Hang in there. Better days are on the way.
Oh soooo good. Butch Appreciation at its finest.
Thanks for reading! Hope you are enjoying Butch Appreciation Day!
Happy Butch Appreciation Day to you too! And I need to say that to my lovely butch Tom ‘H’ when I see her next week; I definitely do all those things, so I’m feeling like a good Femme : )) Enjoy receiving the love you deserve xo
Thanks, bone&silver. We are lucky to have a special someone in our lives. The yin to our yang. Cherish the time you have with your butch. She must be a lucky woman to have you in her life.
❤🌈❤
Yep, yep. Butch Appreciation on point. One more for me: receiving compliments when my boxers match the T-shirt I’m wearing. lol!!
Wow, you match your boxers to your tees? Or do you just get lucky from time to time?
lol!! I see how that sounded, now. Nope, just a lucky break, now and again.
Phew. I thought I was doing it all wrong.
No, not at all. If you take a look in your copy of The Butch Handbook, you’ll see that Chapter 15, Boxers, backs us up. Either way, you’re covered.
Oh. Good. Just checked my copy and saw that you’re right.
👍
just gorgeous! sharing this everywhere!
Thanks for reading and sharing! Appreciate it.
Me again: my butch wants to know when is Femme Appreciation Day? Good question…
Um, if you’re a butch, Femme Appreciation Day is EVERY day. A quick Google search shows that Femme Appreciation Day is the first Saturday of July. Or make up your own day. I vote for that.
Yes indeed! I did the same, & realized we were actually together that whole weekend, so I did feel very appreciated 😍🔥🔥. Am loving your blog, thanks for writing 👍🏼✔️
Aw, thanks. Glad you are enjoying. I makes it all worth it.
PS: she couldn’t Google it because she was out in her garden chopping wood for the fire & brushcutting the weeds… *swoons 😘
Heh heh. Sounds like you got a good butch there. Cherish your time together. If there’s one thing I’ve learned since posting my list on Friday is that those of us who are in love with our partners–butch or femme or otherwise–are lucky.
❤
If only….
Aw, Tex. Hope you find someone who makes all of your butch dreams come true.
Happy B.A.D. to you too! 😀
Thanks, Widds! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods and that you’re feeling better.
Not yet, but antibiotics and time are doing their thing. 🙂
