It makes me happy but I am not picky.

5a. If somebody refers to you by the pronoun, "he," and this is not your preferred pronoun, how do/would you feel?
Kind of amused actually.

5b. How do/would you react?
If it was someone I would be around a lot I might politely let them know I am a female.

If I would never see them again I would ignore it so they would not be embarrased.

Not any different since I'm used to it.

I ask.

10a. Do you associate different traits with different butch pronouns?
No

10b. Do you feel that different pronouns clue you in about how a butch may look, think, feel, dress, act, talk, walk, fuck, bond?
They can but it is not a sure thing since everyone is different and outside the box.

10c. Do you associate different ideologies, alliances or belief systems with different butch pronouns?
no

Depends upon the situation.

11b. If so, which pronoun do you use and why?

11c. If not, what do you do instead?
Most butches in my area are ok with she, if I am not sure I ask.

11d. Would you advocate a community-wide standard in this case? If so, what would it be and why?
No. Because everyone is different and no one should be put into a box.

12a. If you are referring to a hypothetical butch, do you use a default pronoun?
mmhm.

12b. If so, which pronoun do you use and why?
Hy because I like it for myself so I assume others would as well.

12c. If not, what do you do instead?

12d. Would you advocate a community-wide standard in this case? If so, what would it be and why?
No. Standards are just plain silly.

What is better- Chocolate chip or Oreo?
