2nd place contestant in the BUTCH Voices Video Contest is GoddesBoi for her video “Stonebutch, Studs and the Papi Syndrome.” We felt this piece was on point and insightful, offering a perspective we don’t often hear. We appreciated listening as Charita talks about butch stereotypes and why she resists them. It’s also great to have the perspective of an elder woman of color.
