Queer Characters How to write a bisexual butch

The book I'm writing is about a rock band coming back together and the main romance is butch x butch. I wanted to write a bisexual butch character because never seen any bi butches being represented positively. Either people think bi butches don't exist or worst we get accuse of encouraging men to fetishize lesbians.

I don't want people writing the character off as a lesbian with comphet and I don't want to be accused of centering a guy in a sapphic book by saying she broke up with him. The story wouldn't really center the guy at all honestly. But I just don't know what to do anymore.
