In the criminal justice system, there are two separate yet equally important groups: the goats that complicate probability, and the trolleys that execute the offenders
I don't think there are fewer young cis butch women because they're all transitioning. I think there might have been a demographic moment where a bunch of trans men came out in lesbian communities at once... in the nineties, when many young lesbians of voting age were not yet born. I would note that eras of visible transition also *produce* butches in the form of trans wlw. I do think it's possible that young cis gay+ women are increasingly avoiding gender nonconformity in response to a society whose hostility to both trans people and gender nonconformity has become more overt and politically-salient, itself in response to trans visibility, and identifying trans people as the ultimate cause of that shift is a) a failure to respond to our common oppressors b) a TERF talking point
nobody was talking about this here, I'm just remembering Tumblr, and also bemoaning the fact that I appear to be substantially less gay for girls in a gender climate where butch women are less common
also, I feel like TERFs talking about butch flight is telling on themselves for not knowing any lesbians of color. just saying, studs are still killing it in my hometown's nightlife

Not everything has to be a fucking ironic shitpost, not everything has to be for an aidience, not everything needs to be easy to consume, not everything should be consumed.
Share a thought in the way it comes to you best, and other's receptions of your thought are about them, not you.
Stop trying to market your Self, stop trying to box yourself in, stop joking about brands and cancelling. It's not helping, it's old trash from other worlds.
also while i'm at it with the constructive criticism,
can we please stop misrepresenting the historical witch-hunts as being a literal targeted oppression of literal witches?
the "witch cult" hypothesis has been thoroughly debunked and the "9 million" number is a fabrication invented by ahistorical neopagans
the witch hunts were a way of controlling women during the Primitive Accumulation of Capital (suggested reading: Silvia Federici's The Caliban and the Witch).

Boomers had essentially no class awareness because unions were on the decline and most boomers thought Socialism=Russia which made class Politics almost non existent.
Boomers (who benefited from the Welfare state) thought welfare was anti "Individualist" and embraced Reaganomics

The Boomer's Anti War Movement was less "the military industrial complex must be destroyed" and more "Id rather not fight in a war."
Many white/middle class Boomers thought the Civil Rights act ended racism and were turned off by the Black Power movement cus it wasn't Liberal.
Trans, guy of center, well over 18.
I'm in tech and it feels weird.
