"Butch" and "Femme" - Truly Antiquated Terms or More Marginalization?

Gemme · 11-22-2009, 03:49 PM

Dead, dying, on life support or not, I like the terms butch and femme. They feel good in my mouth. They feel right. For me. For someone else, even if they look and act very much like I do, maybe not so much. As Arwen and some others touched on, you can only define yourself and the terms for yourself. Let others define themselves and the terms appropriate for them.
