male-identified

Self-identifying as male.

Aligned with patriarchal interests.

I'm here to tell you that lesbian battering occurs in all kinds of lesbian relationships. I am a butch and I was a victim of it. All kinds of women can be abused, and many different kinds of women can be abusers. It's not going to be as easy as pointing fingers at those who are "male-identified" or have "internalized homophobia," and saying the problem is over there.
