You definitely have a tough crowd in that specific community.
Oh I definitely know that a closed mind is not going to be opened. The topics of their discussion gatherings are publicized in advance, so I'm hoping that anyone who attended would come with an open mind. I planned to ask a B/F couple I know to go with me, if for no other reason than to have a butch present for the discussion. I also would hope that it would be a safe space for others in the group who identify as butch or femme to talk about that - because it really is not a community that otherwise supports it, and I imagine there may be some who ID as butch or femme who have been reluctant to come out.
