How fascinating is this !

Kind of like petri dish fascinating...No, I'm not being snarky, I really want to look at this.

If Selly is 20-ish I'd wager she has her ear to the ground in her age group and social
circles. And if Butch/Femme is no longer representative for a younger generation, the
words very well may become a thing of the past, at least in her experience. I think its
fascinating to know.

It doesnt mean I'll be dropping my identity and I still use Butch/Femme as a jumping off point.
But if the evolution of terms and identification have strayed away from Butch/Femme
"labels" (floabw) then I wonder where our youth is headed !
And I'm not being contrite or when I say I'm excited to see a new generation embrace
their identities in their own way. Isnt that how we evolve?
