"Futch" is a word that has always baffled me. Since you brought up Faderman's and Kennedy and Davis' books (which I was happy to see!), it might be worth noting that back in the day there was a similar term for such women, "kiki." (Kennedy and Davis may talk about it) I had the privilege of hearing a little about this word from none other than Esther Newton herself, and my understanding is that it was considered to be a disparaging term. So I guess we've made some progress! Thanks for this, Roxy. “Futch” is a word that has always baffled me.

I love hearing more about my history, and hearing other people speak passionately about it. I feel the same way about the word "Futch;" it makes me cringe too. Yet, I feel compelled to be compassionate and accepting towards anyone who feels identity with it. Thanks for reminding me of some great literature that I need to re-read (and even read for the first time)! I love this post.
