* '''[[butch]]'''.<ref name=NBGQ2016></ref> Together with its queer feminine counterpart, femme, butch is a form of female masculinity that originated in working-class lesbian bar culture in the 1940s. The best-known touchstone of butch culture is that written by the revolutionary communist and transgender rights activist [[Leslie Feinberg]] (1949 - 2014), who was in it from the 1950s onward. Feinberg based the semi-autobiographical novel ''Stone Butch Blues'' on her experience as a butch. The novel explores the wide variety of kinds of butches that there are (soft butch, stone butch, those who transition and who don't, and so on). Feinberg defines butch as a category of gender identity itself, neither male nor female. Butch ''is'' genderqueer.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Clarke|first1=Deborah|title=The Encyclopedia of Twentieth-Century Fiction|date=2011|publisher=Blackwell Publishing |url=http://www.literatureencyclopedia.com/subscriber/tocnode.html?id=g9781405192446_chunk_g978140519244635_ss1-5 |accessdate=31 July 2017|ref=10.1111/b.9781405192446.2011.x|chapter=Gender and the Novel}}</ref> Butch-femme couples are not an imitation of heterosexuality,<ref>Jack Halberstam, ''Female Masculinity'', Durham: Duke University, 2018. p. 122.</ref> nor is butch simply manhood or an imitation of it. In ''Female Masculinity,'' [[Jack Halberstam]] defines the indefinability of butch: "The butch is neither cis-gender nor simply transgender, the butch is a bodily catachresis. The Greek word, ''catachresis'', means the rhetorical practice of misnaming something for which there would otherwise be no words. Butch is always a misnomer-- not male, not female, masculine but not male, female but not feminine, the term serves as a placeholder for the un-assimilable".<ref>Jack Halberstam, ''Female Masculinity'', Durham: Duke University, 2018. p. xi.</ref> Butch is a broad category that has included many kinds of queer masculine people. Some other notable people who identify as butch as a gender outside the binary include [[Ivan E. Coyote]], [[Kelli Dunham]], and [[Sonalee Rashatwar]].
