Butch (lesbian slang)
Identity for people, usually lesbians, with masculine characteristics / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Butch is a lesbian who exhibits a masculine identity or gender presentation.[1][2]
Since the lesbian subculture of 1940s America, "butch" has been present as a way for lesbians to circumvent traditional gender roles of women in society and distinguish their masculine attributes and characteristics from feminine women.[lower-alpha 1]
