AbstractThis work aims to analyse, through social and historical gender structures and heteronormativity, thenecessary political transmutation as an alternative for lesbian resistance. It is about exposure of theintermediaries of violence, of the butch bodies as a biopolitical zone, but especially of the processes ofconfronting this violence. The recognition of butch experiences as counterproductives in relation to thecrystallization of cisheteronormative sexuality, and how threatening they are to the capitalist/patriarchal(cis)tem, explain the tireless need to assert an universal subject. The authors selected for analysis expressthe brutality with which the sex-gender system assumes the role of regulating, standardizing and reducingthe subjects, transforming multiple and organic bodies into ontological (re)production, fragmentedmachines, and in the case of butch lesbians, abject bodies. Therefore, it is not just a matter of denouncingthe public path towards dehumanizing lesbian existence or reporting the social mechanisms thatsystematically violate and kill women who refuse to perform what heterocentric society defines asfemininity. This text tries to show, above all, that the subversion inherent to the butch - the plasticity ofthe body machine, sex as an act, the production of an alternative femininity, the desire that breaks withstandardization - creates an obsolescence in the heterosocial structure, which can only escape with controland extermination techniques. However, it denotes the enormous strength of a community, which is only(as it is) neglected and annihilated such a capacity to implode an entire social structure and centuries ofoppression.Keywords: lesbian; butch; resignification; femininity; violence.
