In reference to the 8th question, it's a tad insulting to frame butch and femme identities and culture as something "antiquated" or "outdated." As someone who is a non-binary butch lesbian, butch and femme identities, culture, and communities are deeply complex and intricate and haven't, quite frankly, gone anywhere. They are incredibly vitial to the lesbian community's past, present, and future. We continue to survive and grow and create community. As a society, people are taught and reinforced lies about butch and femme identities (and lesbians overall) because of deeply entrenched homophobia, transphobia, and misogyny.
I'm not sure how long these questions have been up, but I wanted to share these points regardless.
