What is a butch lesbian?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33162points) November 25th, 2014

I’d never heard of this person before, and the term “butch lesbian” isn’t clear to me. I sort of intuit the phrase to mean “lesbian with male characteristics”, but I’m not sure that’s complete or accurate.

How would you define it?
