Futch is a term use to describe a lesbian, bisexual, or otherwise sapphic woman (or feminine-aligned non-binary person) who presents with a mix of feminine (femme) and masculine (butch) traits. They typically dress and present themselves in a way that is 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.
