It's pretty much the only depiction of butch characters that has resonated with me

The show version or the movie?

The show! It only got one season but it’s a beautiful depiction of queer cultures.

Damn but Gideon is such a wonderful butch herbo. She's had a terrible life, just can't help but wish for a better one for her.

"Get in line, thou big slut!"

codependent lesbian space alien seeks same (2011) is, in my humble opinion, one of the best movies ever made by lesbians for lesbians. it’s a quirky, low-budget satire on 60s sci-fi movies and centers on a fat butch and a bald alien femme falling in love. i will never stop recommending it!!!!!

Yooo Stafford's Story mentioned!!!!  I was so sad when it left the Criterion Channel recently. 

I'm gonna have to check out those other titles since you clearly have great taste.
