What is a chapstick lesbian?

A chapstick lesbian is a lesbian who presents in a more traditionally feminine way. This is in contrast to other presentations within the lesbian community, such as butch or stud lesbians.

Appearance is often characterized by:

• Clothing: Wearing dresses, skirts, and other clothing typically associated with femininity.
• Makeup: Often wearing makeup.
• Grooming: Paying attention to hair styling and other aspects of feminine grooming.

It's important to note that these are generalizations. Not all chapstick lesbians adhere to all of these traits, and individual expression varies greatly. The term itself acknowledges the diversity within the lesbian community and challenges stereotypes that all lesbians must present in a masculine way. It is also related to the discussion of femme identity.
