Butch label disappearing?

Do you think the "butch" identity/label is disappearing?

I haven't seen a lot of younger people identifying as "butch", for whatever reason. Do you think that since we have all these new identities that labels like butch are being forgotten?

I've been looking around on the internet, and I seem to be finding a lot of older people 30/40+ use the identity, but very few under 30. There still are a few younger people who do, but it's 1-2 people out of 50, and that's pushing it I find.

From what I've heard … from femmes on the West Coast... specifically the PNW area... they answer to that question is a resounding … yup!

Yes yes and yes

So my GP doctor has me under gender neutral in my record. When I saw that I did a double take. That has never come up in my conversations with her! Me being gender neutral so I have no clue how that got there. But I do see that used a lot in the younger generation.

When all is said and done, there does and will continue to exist
Butch/femme...the masculine woman and the femme woman.
No matter what labels are concocted the Yang & the yin
will continue, it is all about energy...so, no matter how many
attempt to erase us, the Butches, non gender conforming woman
will continue, period.

And, by the way, have you heard of the concept of supply and demand?
So, go ahead and believe that femmes will seek other than Butch women,
you just go ahead and think that...smiling.

Yes, Butches are still and will always be here. We all stand on the
shoulders of our ancestors an African saying goes, and so do we,
and so do I, and so do you.

ps addressing only this so called erasing/disappearing
of butch women strange belief.
