'''Butch''' is a term used in [[lesbian]] and [[gay]] subculture to describe a lesbian, [[bisexual]], or otherwise [[sapphic]] woman who [[Gender Presentation|presents]] masculinely. The term butch tends to denote a degree of masculinity displayed by a female individual beyond what would be considered typical of a tomboy. Butch women will often dress in masculine clothing, and typically present themselves in a more stereotypical masculine way, such as having short hair, not wearing makeup, and not shaving. Butches are also commonly thought of as having more "masculine" interests, such as sports, mechanics and other hand-on jobs. Some butches will take on masculine nicknames and some butches bind their chest or take masculinising hormones to appear more masculine. Despite this butch women are still women. They can be [[cisgender]] or [[transgender]]. It is not uncommon for butch women to face harassment or violence because of their appearance.
