A term used by some non-binary people to describe their relationship with gender or gender expression, and sometimes one's sexual orientation as well. It is a combination of the terms butch and twink. This can sometimes be used as a gender identity and/or sexual orientation on its own.
Examples of butch twink experiences may include:
- Having a non-normative gender expression/being gender non-conforming. One may present androgynously, and have connections to both femininity and masculinity, or be lingender. One may want to be perceived as both a feminine man and a masculine woman (but not a masculine man or feminine woman). They may present both ways simultaneously or be fluid between presentations. They may also be pronoun non-conforming.
- Having connection to both womanhood and manhood, either through being liaspec, being multigender, being genderfluid, being cusper, being both girlprox and boyprox, or some other way.
- Relating to or identifying with both achillean and sapphic communities, labels, and/or culture. This could be because one is multisexual, omnigay, gai, or other identities.

There's this kid at my school who looks like he's either a butch lesbian or a gay twink and my friends can't decide which
"Oh hey, it's Butch Twink!"

In layman's terms for you non-gender researching people ou there. Sorry if you're confused about the LGBT wiki. But you know what a femboy is right? You know what a twink is right? You know what a TOMboy is right? You know what a butch is right?
You see where I'm getting at? A Butch Twink is a Tomboy that is ALREADY (AMaB) Male, non-binary/genderqueer etc.
They're androgynous, has a more masculine personality but sticks to a feminine/masc appearence. They are the OPPOSITE of a Femboy. They're a femboy if the femboy was into looking cool instead.
Now some may not like this definition. As a Butch Twink myself, it's how I see myself, thanks.

I saw a butch twink the other day walking down the street, had a cool tattoo so I said it to them. When I saw their face and heard their voice I just knew they were androgynous!
