'''Butch''' is an identity used in [[LGBT+]] subculture to describe someone, typically a [[lesbian]] or otherwise [[sapphic]] [[Female|woman]], who has a [[masculine]] gender [[Gender Presentation|presentation]]. The term "butch" tends to denote a degree of masculinity beyond what would be considered typical of a tomboy. |

Another all-inclusive "sky butch" flag was made by tumblr user kenochoric on December 22, 2020.<ref>[https://kenochoric.tumblr.com/post/638266393332219904/sky-butch-sea-femme-all-inclusive-butch-and Tumblr post with the sky butch flag.]</ref> Orange represents the inclusion of all butches, including POC, fat, [[disabled]], [[Gender Non-Conforming|GNC]], and all other butches. The butch community and the wider community is no place for bigotry towards marginalized members. ALL butches are good butches. Red-pink/salmon represents autonomy and independence. Being butch is not just about being with femmes. Being butch is it’s own subculture that can stand on it’s own, and is just as valuable as any other. White-red represents inclusivity and tolerance and that you do not have to prove yourself to be butch. Pink represents support for femmes, other butches, and the wider community. Purple represents butch history and culture, and blue represents LGBTQ+ history. |

The Black Butch Community flag was made by Tumblr user the-gender-thieves on April 11th, 2022.<ref>[https://the-gender-thieves.tumblr.com/post/681250457785647104/black-butch-community-flag]</ref> The colors are inspired by the [[dyke]] flag, and both of the most common butch flags. The color meanings are as follows: Black - black history and black sapphic history, Magenta/purple - lesbian and sapphic history, love of women and non-men, sapphic power, Dark purple - inclusivity of all sapphics, including trans, non-binary, mspec, aroacespec, and other sapphics, Light orange - butchness, gender non-conformity, solidarity and unity. The symbol used is the coiner's butch symbol, it represents strength, rebellion, and liberation. |

The butch symbol was designed on October 4, 2014 by a group of non-binary Brazilians.<ref>[https://www.deviantart.com/cari-rez-lobo/art/Gender-Symbols-486052086 DeviantArt post “Gender Symbols” by Cari-Rez-Lobo.]</ref> It is based on the male symbol but with longer prongs. |
