Just finished reading the SBB for the first time

I’m a 36 year old butch lesbian and I’ve been masculine presenting since I was legit five years old. My mom (who came out as a lesbian when I was about 9) called me BB as a nickname when I was a kid, which I learned in my 20s stood for Baby Butch, a phrase I read a number of times in this book. Ive been out since I was a teenager and I have to say this is the first time I feel like this part of my personhood was ever illustrated in a piece of media. I have read some criticism of the book and while a lot of the criticism is rooted in transphobia strangely enough (referring to Ruth as a man is absolutely fucking insane and evil to me personally idc) and some criticism comes from what I consider generational differences, I feel like this book is an incredibly important piece of queer history written by a butch elder preserving in writing a period of time in a place in America. I’m rambling now but I just feel moved and would like to hear what you all think. Butches my age, butches older, butches younger who have actually read the book; what’s your opinion?
