I ask as a butch lesbian (enby) myself. In Swedish, we have: truckflata or butchflata.

I suck at all 3 languages, but for femme I've just seen femmeflata.

I think it's just Butch and Femme in German, but I'm still kinda learning that.

Lesbians in German is lesben and in Swedish, it's "lesbiska" or "flator".

Some people use it proudly about themselves, but if somebody who doesn't love and respect you use it about you, it can be an insult.
