What is soft butch?

Soft butch is a term used to describe someone who embodies both traditionally feminine and masculine characteristics in their appearance, behavior, and identity. This can include individuals who may present in a more masculine way (such as wearing more neutral or masculine clothing, having a shorter haircut, or being more assertive) but still embrace aspects of their femininity.

Soft butches may not conform to strict gender norms and often challenge the concept of gender altogether. They often have a more fluid and diverse understanding of their own gender identity. Soft butches may identify as lesbians, but not all do.

Overall, soft butch individuals defy traditional gender expectations and create their own unique identity that blends elements of both masculinity and femininity.
