The definition of the term butch is an often-contested word within the LBTQ community. More often than not, the definitions of butch are driven by appearance, such as the “soft-butch,” the wo(man) that displays hints of masculinity, such as short-hair, and the “stone-cold” butch, a (wo)man that exhibits a strong masculine build.
