My mother keeps saying I should date guys because I'm attracted to butch/masculine women?

Explain to her that it you aren't into men, you're into women. Tell her what it is you like about Masculine women, and what you don't like about men. Explain what you perceive as the differences between them that make you more attracted to females. In short, how can you tell he it's totally different? Tell her HOW its totally different! X3 Just explain how "Butch" women make you feel compared to men and vice versa, that should get your point across pretty easily. Hope I helped somehow :)
