'''Femme''' is a term used in [[lesbian]] and [[gay]] subculture to describe an [[LGBT+]] person, typically a lesbian or otherwise [[sapphic]] woman who has a [[feminine]] gender [[Gender Presentation|presentation]]. Femme people will often dress in feminine clothing, and typically present themselves in a more stereotypical feminine way, such as having long hair, and wearing makeup. Femmes are also commonly thought of as having more "feminine" interests. However, femme people often subvert cultural expectations of femininity or show femininity in a uniquely [[queer]] way, as opposed to [[cishet]] women. Femme women can be [[cisgender]], [[transgender]], or any other [[Gender Modality|gender modality]]. Femme can also be used by [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] people.
Line 15 ⟶ 17:
Some other terms that are typically synonymous with femme include: "lipstick lesbian" and "designer dyke".

Someone who is highly feminine, typically putting in a lot of effort into their appearance. They may also choose to only date [[butch]] partners.

Stone femme may refer to a femme who is stone, meaning they do not like their genitals sexually touched by their partners. (They may also identify as [[asexual]] and/or [[placiosexual]].) It may also refer to the femme partner of a stone butch.
