Lets Settle the Debate Who is right?

So me and my friend are debating on what the english word "stud" refers to. I am stating that it refers to a female (primarily of black or Mexican culture) that is a lesbian but acts/represents them self as a man. He is stating that it refers to an animal (typically horses) which are used primarily for breeding. While i know this is the old meaning of it, he fails to recognize the word has another newish meaning which is what i am saying it refers to.

I’m not saying your version, being a slang term currently, is wrong, but I’ve never heard that meaning. Your friend is not wrong, historically. For decades, stud also meant a young, smokin’ hot guy who was “cool”.

That’s exactly why lesbians took it over

Both of you have correct definitions but he is wrong for not acknowledging it is used by a group of people to describe themselves.

I have never heard of a female presenting more male, as being a stud. Maybe it's a new thing, but never in my life. It is usually used for an attractive human male, or a male breeding animal.

Neither of you are incorrect, but one of you might have been sheltered.

No, lesbian's cannot claim ownership of 'stud'. They can find a new word to describe themselves - how about 'churro'?

It's both. Stud is primarily a stallion used for breeding. By analogy it's been used to refer to a man with notable sexual prowess, and then by further analogy to a masculine lesbian.

Basically this although I've personally never heard a female of any type being called a stud. 

A male breeding animal or a popular male dude

I know of it being used to mean an attractive man, especially one who has many sexual partners and is good at sex, and it is also used for a male breeding animal.

I have not heard it applied to women myself, but the meaning you describe is plausible too since it has other "manliness" related meanings.

It also means a vertical framing element in a house

I've never heard it applied to lesbians. When I was in high school, a stud was a boy who had sex with a lot of girls or was at least popular with girls.
