These lesbians usually are the ones who have to go through the trouble of people telling them “but you don’t look gay.”
They are the ones you have such a hard time figuring out if they’re gay or not, even if you have an extremely superb gaydar. Long hair, makeup, feminine clothing and attire, all that stuff. (Jk).įemme lesbians are more traditionally feminine or girly. They are not men they simply just have a different definition of femininity and it usually is defined by their own feeling of masculinity. They wear “boy” or masculine clothes, don’t wear makeup and usually have short hair. But there are some defining qualities that each type of lesbian possesses which can make her fall into any of these categories.Ī butch or stud are usually more masculine women over anything else. You can define yourself however you want to, which includes not defining yourself at all. I want to remind you that there is no strict definition on what makes you any “type” of lesbian. WHAT?! Are you telling my 13-year old self that I didn’t have to choose between strictly butch or femme? No wonder I never felt like I fit into either one of those categories. “A lesbian who dresses like a guy but still wears make – up and has long hair. Tomboy in appearance but still has a femme side to her. “A lesbian, dyke or other variety of queer woman who possesses or displays qualities and identifiers of both butch and femme.”Īnd here is it’s definition for stem (stud and femme):
Here is Urban Dictionary’s definition of futch (femme and butch): And I would still be calling myself androgynous until the term “futch” came along. In 2015, as a mere sapling in the gay community, I only heard the terms “butch lesbian,” “femme lesbian,” and/or “lipstick lesbian.” There was seemingly no in-between or combinations of either of the two, unless you called yourself androgynous, which I did. The spectrum of what kind of lesbian you are nowadays is much wider than what it used to be, and it has changed within a timespan of only a few years. If you’re a lesbian of any age there is a very high chance you have heard the terms “femme” or “butch” before-unless you’ve been living under a rock with all your rainbow flags and posters of Brie Larson.īut, as everything does with time, the terms for lesbian “types” have changed and broadened.
