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.
