Is it possible that the question "Are butches really a dying breed" and its use of the term "breed" is itself problematic in that it implies some common essential characteristic? And that, in turn, might lead people to respond in particular ways.
Is the question asking whether fewer people are identifying as "butch" or whether there are now fewer people with certain identifiable characteristics around? Or maybe it is asking something altogether different.
I am curious how others might interpret the question. If someone has already posted on this point and I missed it, I apologise in advance
