  • FemmeSOFFAs - Are you femme? Is your butch transitioning or considering taking steps toward this? Is your background in the butch-femme community? If you have answered yes to these questions, this is the right list for you. This list is offered as an alternative to those that are so all inclusive the femmes sometimes get lost in there with the partners of FTMs who ID as straight or heterosexual, butch, or are bio-male. While inclusiveness and diversity *can* be a wonderful thing, sometimes we all need a place to garner support by "our own kind". We'd love to have you. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FemmeSOFFAs
