Femme (or fem) means an LGBTQ+ feminine gender expression or identity. While many people who identify as femme use the term in reference to their gender expression, others claim it as a non-binary gender identity in itself. Many think of "femme" as a word that only LGBTQ+ people can use for themselves, and perhaps even only by lesbian women (and therefore only by people who identify as women). This is because this identity emerged in the lesbian community, as a counterpart for butch, a LGBTQ+ masculine female identity. There are many types of femme, such as stone femme.
