peony butch! ⸻ a term for butches who feel as though they don't fit the stereotypical image of a butch; such as those who aren't strong or dominant, those who aren't the caregiving type, those who are feminine, those who are also femmes, those who are transfem, etc!

inspired by the meaning behind peonies, specifically bashfulness!

solibutch: someone whose butch identity is tied to and/or influenced by their alignment with masculinity and/or maleness

lunafemme: someone whose femme identity is tied to and/or infuenced by their alignment with femininity and/or femaleness

helibutch: someone whose butch identity is tied to and/or influenced by their alignment with maleness

selefemme: someone whose femme identity is tied to and/or infuenced by their alignment with femaleness

phoebutch: someone whose butch identity is tied to and/or influenced by their alignment with masculinity

artefemme: someone whose femme identity is tied to and/or infuenced by their alignment with femininity

stellabutch: someone whose butch identity is tied to and/or influenced by their unalignment and/or alignment with neutrality

stellafemme: someone whose femme identity is tied to and/or infuenced by their unalignment and/or alignment with neutrality

some more galactian alignment + butch/femme terms, inspired by my planetbutch/rigelfemme flags and by a recent anon who was concerned about their potential helian/phoebian identity invalidating their butch lesbian identity!

these use colors from my helian/selenian/phoebian/artemian flags, the solarian/lunarian/stellarian flags, and these butch/femme flags. helibutch/phoebutch can be considered subsets of solibutch, and selefemme/artefemme can be considered subsets of lunafemme.

Femme (left) and Butch (right) flags

So uh, I wanted to make a flag for femmes and butches that didn't fit the 3 stripe and white in the middle format (nothing wrong with those, I just wanted to try making something in another style.) They're similar to flags I made many years ago, but they've been rehauled and made to be a lot more bold. You can still use those old flags of course, but I don't really like them anymore.

I've always associated femme with purple and green, and then the butch flag is red and orange as a homage to the main butch flag that's in the same colors. The bottom orange and purple stripes on the bottom of each is in reference to each other, specifically tying into solidarity and unity between the butch and femme communities. I also put purple in both because that color (especially violet) has long since been associated with sapphic love.

High Quality Simplified Butch flags

I was having trouble finding these in high-quality, though I remember seeing a 5 stripe Butch flag around before. These are simplified versions of the Butch flag by butchspace. The first flag uses the outer two stripes and is more bold, while the second uses the outermost stripe and third/fifth stripes for a more "soft" look.

I don't claim to have made this, don't gatekeep or be weird on my post, anyone can use, and help with image descriptions is welcome! (The 5000x3000px 300dpi versions are up on my Deviantart, same username)

Butchy flag

Made for anon who defined it as "It could be used as in butchy futch, butchy anything else. The term always reminds me of 'boyish', without necessarily identifying as boy-like terms".

Inspired by multiple Butch and Futch flags, as well as this Hard Femme flag ( which can also be used by Butchy / Thistle Femmes ) and this Thistle Femme flag ( which again, can be used by Butchy Femmes / Futches. )

This is free to anyone who identifies with "Butchy" in any way and is free to be used anywhere!
