Fuck butchfemme I dont care about or respect your yankee ass queer history
Okay listen I don't actually care if you call yourself a butch or femme. I don't actually view them as harmful most of the time. That being said if you uphold it as an essential pillar of lesbianism or you ask every lesbian you meet which one they are then I'm side-eyeing you H A R D as both a trans woman who has previously been essentially peer pressured by TME lesbians into being "butch" despite it being incredibly dysphoria-inducing, and someone who lives outside the impcore and has to see these USamericans gatekeeping and defining lesbianism with these terms
Also telling that if you criticize these labels as something that can be heteronormative when treated as the holy grail of lesbianism, TMA butches/femmes will usually understand but TME butches/femmes will try to rip your fucking throat out
