Definition - What does Femme mean?
A femme is typically a queer woman who presents in traditionally feminine appearance and characteristics. Femmes are often contrasted and connected to butch women.
Cherry Banana explains Femme
Femme lesbians face significant stigma in both the queer and straight communities. Heterosexual people often doubt their sexuality, assuming they should be straight as well because of their appearance. The queer community has been accused of valuing butch women who do not conform to traditional gender appearances, at the cost of femmes, who do.
