Have you heard the tragic news? Apparently, butch lesbians — like rare pandas — are in danger of going extinct. I have to say, when I first learned that I was soon to follow in the fateful footsteps of the dodo, it did come as something of a surprise. We’ve been packing out the Royal Vauxhall Tavern lately to such a degree that my favourite club night, Butch Please, has had to double its frequency due to popular demand, but I’ll bet that the dinosaurs never saw being wiped off the face of the earth coming either.
And the cause of this crisis, you might reasonably ask? Imagine me dramatically dimming the lights and talking in scare-quotes for this bit: why, it’s the Trans Mob invading our sacred spaces and recruiting innocent young same-sex attracted female sapphics to their sinister and villainous alphabet mafia, of course!
