Boi Lesbian
A boi is a lesbian or queer person, often younger, whose gender expression is a masculine or androgynous style that reads as more youthful or playful than traditional butch.
Boi (spelled with an i, pronounced like "boy") is a term used in butch, femme, and queer communities for a masculine or androgynous gender expression that tends to read as more youthful, casual, or playful than classic butch. A boi lesbian is a lesbian who presents this way. The spelling signals a softer or more boyish masculinity, and the term is especially common among younger queer people and in some communities of color. Boi is not limited to lesbians; it is used across a range of sexual and gender identities. Individuals may or may not also identify as butch, and the exact meaning shifts by community and context.
