    ==Transgender butches==
    ==Transgender butches==
    While the term "transgender butch" could apply to a masculine trans person, regardless of [[sex#Gender assigned at birth|gender assigned at birth]], the term is often used in a more specific sense to describe a person who was assigned female at birth, has a masculine gender expression, and experiences [[gender dysphoria]] while identifying as butch rather than male or another gender. Transgender butches may identify as [[genderqueer]] or [[nonbinary]]; some claim butch as a specific non-binary identity. Transgender butches may also identify as lesbians or dykes independently of their gender identity. A similar term is "stone butch", which describes a butch who prefers to avoid genital stimulation in sexual settings, sometimes due to [[gender dysphoria]].
