Butch/Femme: What do you Think?
Tuesday June 29, 2004
In the lesbian community, some people hate the butch/femme labels. Some welcome and embrace the butch/femme identity. What do you think? Does Butch/Femme still have relevance in 2004? Are the labels insulting or limiting? What and how do you define yourself? Join in the Lesbian Life Discussion on Butch/Femme.
I think labeling may have something to do with the type of homosexual community/environment one has grown up in. Some of our community/environment use the Butch/Fem labels to base a relationship and/or companionship on. I also believe women who have been in heterosexual relationships and then realize the lesbian within are more apt to use the butch/ Fem labels.
I am a lesbian who doesn’t believe in Butch and Fem labels. I don’t want to be limited in my choice of women.
