They typically dress and present themselves in a way that is [[Neutral\|gender neutral]] or [[androgynous]], not going too far towards masculine or feminine, or they may present more strongly femme sometimes and more strongly butch other times. Futch ~~people~~individuals can be [[cisgender]], [[transgender]], or any other [[~~transgender~~Gender Modality\|gender modality]]. == Futchfluid == '''Futchfluid''' is a lesbian, bisexual or otherwise sapphic women who is futch and fluid. This means they either switch from masculine, to feminine, to androgynous in their presentation, though futchfluid can also be applied to someone who's gender is best described as futchfluid and female. == Other Terms == The term "chapstick lesbian" is typically synonymous with futch, and is based on the term "lipstick lesbian".<ref name=":0">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butch_and_femme#Other_terms</ref> === Lipgloss Lesbian === Someone who is in between butch and femme but leans more towards femme. === Stem === A stem (sometimes spelled "stemme"<ref>https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stemme</ref>, from "Stud-fem"<ref name=":0" /><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_butch</ref>) is a form of futchness that is specific to black women.

The Futchfluid flags were made by tumblr user obscure-dare on April 5th, 2018.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220714091848/https://beyond-mogai-pride-flags.tumblr.com/post/172630970510/futchfluid-a-change-in-presentation-from-butch</ref> The first design is an original idea, with the pink, traditionally feminine, fading into the lavender, the “middle ground” between pink and blue, then the blue, traditionally masculine, fading into the lavender. Plus, the repeating circle with only pink and blue, symbolizing moving directly from feminine to masculine. The "horizon futch" flag or "all-inclusive" futch flag was created by pridewiki on or before December 23, 2020.<ref>https://kenochoric.tumblr.com/post/638345628171337728/horizon-futch-an-all-inclusive-futch-flag-no</ref> Purple represents the inclusion of all futches, including POC, disabled, fat, [[Gender Non-Conforming\|GNC]], and all other futches. Blue represents the butch and femme roots and history. Futch has roots from both, but it is also it’s own whole identity. Green represents support for femmes, butches, other futches, and the wider community. Yellow represents inclusivity and tolerance. Orange represents autonomy and independence. Red represents futch history and culture. Red-pink represents [[LGBT+\|LGBTQ+]] history. The second one is based on the genderfluid flag, except the middle magenta is replaced with the futch lilac, and the pink and blue–femme and butch–are on the outside of the gradient, symbolizing the outward presentation rather than a standalone gender identity. A proposed futch symbol is a combination of the butch and femme symbols, which were both created on October 4, 2014 by a group of non-binary Brazilians.<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/cari-rez-lobo/art/Gender-Symbols-486052086</ref>▼ The Nonbinary Futch flag was made by tumblr user beyond-mogai-pride-flags on August 7th, 2018.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230221223812/https://beyond-mogai-pride-flags.tumblr.com/post/176754955750/nonbinary-futch-pride-flag</ref> It has no known meanings. == Resources ==▼ The Bi and Pan Futch flags were created by now-deactivated Tumblr user queer-experiences on or before July 28th, 2018.
