yahoberries:

just found out that there were terms equivalent to femme and butch in Korean language used within the lesbian community during the 1970s-80s; 

Lesbians in Korea at the time would often refer to themselves and each other as 치마씨 (chima-sshi = Ms Skirt) or 바지씨 (baji-sshi = Ms Pants) depending on how they presented themselves. Those in between were called 반바지씨 (banbaji-sshi = Ms Shorts) ! my heart feels tenderized.
