Nine African American butch (masculine) lesbians individually talk to an unseen and unheard interviewer about various aspects of the butch lifestyle and their own personal lives. Topics include their look (clothing, hairstyles, lack of makeup, etc.), their realizations that they were "different" and their eventual coming out, their relationships with various family members, their partners, and other societal groups, the perceptions of society, and what it means to be "butch".
