There happen to be many younger butches and femmes who id as butches and femmes so how this concept that the younger generation no longer uses these terms and we need to embrace changing times and new terms with our old ids outdated in yester year is way off base.

Personally I think terms like stud have been around and should be embraced anyway as any given day I could be called either and I respond as I get the context of it is very similar I still id as butch 1st however cuz it's the term I most relate too and always will.

Anyhow in spite there being other terms that should have always been welcome as many others have been there is no need deem butch or femme old terms as the classics don't get old and there is modern young butches and femmes everywhere other then online there for reasons beyond being open to other terms that have been around forever now that have been deemed new when they are not.

I don't see young butches and femmes disappearing off the face of the planet nor do I see stud and other terms the new butch/femme but rather another side of butch/femme that has been around and will be around as long as butch/femme which is an attraction as timeless as boy meets girl and trust me it's not going anywhere as I see an even more open and growing generation of butches and femmes to follow.
