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".

In Québécois French :

Butch : enby (I guess, but I’m not sure)

Lesbienne: lesbians

Not sure what is Femme so I will not pronounce myself.

Since with not that far from New York and Montreal is (was ?) a big sanctuary city we used mostly (American) English terms in vernacular French

Enby is a nonbinary person. At least in English.

N.B, get it?

Ha yes I’ve heard this one. Thanks for pointing my mistake

So enby : non-binaire, une personne non-binaire

Butch would be the same but we use (and prefer) lesbienne
