"Butch" is a term often used to describe a style or identity associated with masculinity, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community. It is commonly associated with individuals, especially women, who present themselves in a more traditionally masculine way through their clothing, behavior, and interests. This identity can be a form of self-expression and empowerment. In addition to its use in gender identity, "butch" can also refer to a specific subculture within the lesbian community. Butch individuals may embrace traits such as strength and assertiveness, challenging conventional gender norms. The term can also be used in contrast to "femme," which describes a more traditionally feminine presentation.
