The terms "butch" and "femme" describe two distinct gender expressions often found within the LGBTQ+ community, particularly among lesbian individuals. A butch person typically presents in a more masculine manner, which may include clothing, hairstyle, and behavior that align with traditional masculinity. In contrast, a femme person expresses themselves in a more feminine way, embracing styles and behaviors associated with traditional femininity. These identities can exist on a spectrum, and individuals may identify as butch, femme, or somewhere in between, reflecting their personal experiences and preferences in gender expression.
