Are butches really a dying breed?

Good morning! This is a really interesting question to me today because I attended the Philadelphia qFest's event yesterday, featuring Rose Troche, who directed "Go Fish" as well as "The L Word".

I know we've had good discussions on this site about media representation of Butch-Femme community, should we start a fresh thread about it? I'm curious about your thoughts. Its a fascinating question- Does less media representation make for less butches/Femmes? Or are we too small a "market" to drive development of media about us? Even at this queer film fest, it was slim pickings.
