SlangWhat is the origin and meaning of the phrase "stone butch"?
A stone butch is a very masculine-presenting lesbian, often one who prefers to give sexual pleasure rather than receive it. The term was popularized by Leslie Feinberg's 1993 novel Stone Butch Blues and is associated with specific sexual boundaries, emotional resilience, and a strong butch identity. Stone butches often have a distinct style and presence within lesbian communities, and the label can carry both cultural and personal significance.
