On day 27 of #TransLoveNov, I send love to Buff Butch. Created by professional boxer Pat Manuel (who I got to go through the Brown Boi Project March 2013 Leadership Retreat with) and now joined by Edxie Betts, Buff Butch is oppression-free fitness, queering fitness as a revolutionary tool. I've been on the program for over two years now and it has brought a new found love for my body and been a consistent (at least when I'm being consistent) source of release from the daily grind and the depression and anxiety I live with. Buff Butch does workshops all the time on how to queer fitness. Now on their QT, Fit, & Lit Tour, folks at colleges and universities should bring Buff Butch to help make your campus gyms safer and more comfortable for queer, gender nonconforming, and/or trans bodies.

With love and in solidarity
#TransLoveNov

About that asterisk: This website uses the asterisk (*) as a linguistic disruption of sorts that shifts the meaning of words to intentionally reference from a trans perspective (e.g., trans*form). In most cases, it is not used after the word "trans" as is becoming common in many spaces (see this article for an explanation of the etymology and meaning of trans*), except when directly cited or is part of an already published piece.  This is to honor the ongoing discussions and tensions amongst trans communities regarding the use/misuse of the asterisk. See, the following three articles to learn about some of these discussions and tensions: by Julia Serano, by the Trans Student Educational Resources, and by Practical Androgyny.
