Just curious what the opinions here are Do you think women in homosexual relationships (woman x woman) who aren’t exclusively lesbian are able to use terms like butch and femme to describe their relationship roles?

I think it’s important to know that butch and femme aren’t just relationship roles, they’re personal identities. Ones that have been created and historically used by lesbians. I don’t necessarily think it’s wrong if non-lesbians use them but I think it’s important to know the meanings of labels like these, and their history

Also tho historically sapphic people have been included in a lot of lesbian culture even if they aren’t technically lesbian
