Truly, butch women may be into cars, or sports, or even construction trades. I have the urge to jump to the вЂњlumberjackвЂќ stereotype, but this is purely a point of reference. (Shortly after coming out, I made the mistake of telling a stone-butch that she was pretty вЂ“ and she was rather offended!)Д«utch women are also likely to have more masculine interests as well. Many times, for example, a butch woman would prefer to be called вЂњhandsomeвЂќ rather than вЂњbeautifulвЂќ. If your partner identifies as a butch woman, she will likely choose to identify with вЂњmasculineвЂќ characteristics. This is a different category than trans men, as we have addressed in a previous article, but society may tend to lump the two together. Of course, a womanвЂ™s individual style still plays a heavy part into this, but the short definition of a butch woman is вЂњa woman who presents herself to look like a man, but doesnвЂ™t identify as a manвЂќ. Generally, when we think of вЂњbutch womenвЂќ, we think of short hair, flannel, and denim. After a bit of examination, we should be able to determine the primary differences and start addressing our partners by the appropriate terms (as long as the term is one they agree with remember, labels are a very personal thing, and no one can assign a label to someone else).Д«utch lesbians are those who have helped shape the stereotypes involving who вЂњlooksвЂќ gay. Today, weвЂ™ll be addressing the labels that fall on the more masculine side: Butch, stud, and tomboy. In a community thatвЂ™s so solidly dependent on inclusion, itвЂ™s important to understand that each of these labels means something different to everyone вЂ“ but generally they fall under certain criteria. At the far-feminine end, we have the lipstick lesbians: The ones who are often misappropriated as straight women.

At the far-masculine end, we have the butch lesbians: The ones who look and act like men.

WhatвЂ™s the difference between the вЂњmasculineвЂќ labels, anyway? ArenвЂ™t a butch and a stud the same thing?
