Butch Twink

Butch twink, also known as twutch, butchwink, twink-butch, or buink, is a term used by some non-binary people to describe their relationship with gender or presentation, and sometimes one's orientation as well. It is a combination of the terms butch and twink. This can sometimes be used as a gender identity and/or sexual orientation on its own.

Examples of butch twink experiences may include:

Having a non-normative gender expression/being gender non-conforming. One may present androgynously, and have connections to both femininity and masculinity, or be lingender. One may want to be perceived as both a feminine man and a masculine woman (but not a masculine man or feminine woman). They may present both ways simultaneously or be fluid between presentations. They may also be pronoun non-conforming.
Having connection to both womanhood and manhood, either through being liaspec, being multigender, being genderfluid, being cusper, being both girlprox and boyprox, or some other way.
Relating to or identifying with both achillean and sapphic communities, labels, and/or culture. This could be because one is multisexual, omnigay, gai, sapphillean lesbivincian, or other identities.

Not all butch twinks experience their identities in the same way. The traits listed above are only examples, and they don't apply to every butch twink.

The counterpart to butch twink is femme bear.
