>>40042384>factoring in biwomenThat is true. However given that most dedicated lesbian spaces have increasingly become more broadly sapphic spaces, I think it is hard to filter them out at times.
>assuming cislesbians are inherently more femme presentingFrom the perspective of zoomer lesbians, that is what I believe they think is 'normal'.
I'm a millennial into masc butches I know that femme is not the 'default'.
>when ppl see a stereotypical femme women they don't generally assume she's a lesbianI fully agree. But that is an out-group thing.
>femme/butch historically was always about aestheticsThe aesthetics always used to be secondary to the identities and the specific dynamic of those two identities together. Read up on pre-stonewall butch/femme ofos stuff, it was pretty hardcore.
While that has obviously mellowed out over time, plenty of us still consider butch/femme to be identities that are just associated with aesthetics; Rather then just aesthetics.
>is a lot less constrained into this dichotomyWhich is a pretty big problem if you happen to prefer older lesbian culture.
Set social and relationship roles are always just going to appeal to some people. Even if it is not something zoomers seem to be into.
