What is "butch?" What does a butch identity mean? What stereotypes are associated with the word and identity "butch," and what identities to people who identify as butch really have?

As someone self-identified as butch, I'm interested in these investigations. I'm interested in how people are making and re-making masculine identities that expose patriarchal power imbalances, inherent sexism, misogyny, and identity alignment assumptions usually based on gender roles. I'm interested in tearing down the systems that keep us misinformed and misinterpreting the visual signals that we all see.
