chapstick lesbian

A female homosexual whose gender identity is slightly to the femme side of neutral on the femme-butch continuum of gender presentation but whose appearance and preferences stop short of those of a "lipstick lesbian."

"But butch lesbians have had little to no representation on television in the US: Ellen's two "chapstick lesbian" sitcom characters are the closest we've come." (AfterEllen.com)
