hard femme

Not to be mistaken with the typical femme, the "hard femme" describes herself as "queer", is political, looks more feminine than masculine, and if prompted, can kick some serious ass. She doesn't need to "wear the pants" in a relationship- the hard femme rules with a dress. She not only despises the gender binary, she works to dismantle it.
Misogynist Butch: "There she is! It's that femme I told you about that tried to wear one with me!"
(Not necessarily misogynist) Butch #2: You should've known better. That girl's got "hard femme" written all over her.

femme lite

The semantic counterpart of a soft butch - more femme than an androgyne, but less femme than a femme. IOW soft butch is to femme lite, as butch is to femme.

A femme lite might also be described as a boyish-looking woman - in face, figure, and/or style - but with the emphasis on the woman. Not a tomboy... at least not anymore. Cute; handsome; capable.

Can be any sexual orientation or relational approach.
On TV or stage, self-described "chapstick lesbian" Ellen DeGeneres is a femme lite. But on the street she sometimes appears more of a tomboy, androgynous, or soft butch - i.e., somewhat less femme.
