Ursula

Ursula is a playful, informal term used within some lesbian and queer women's spaces to describe a larger or heavyset butch lesbian, often one with a bold, commanding presence. The name nods to Ursula, the sea witch villain in Disney's The Little Mermaid, reclaimed with humor and affection rather than insult. It sits alongside other body and presentation terms in lesbian culture, such as butch and stud, that carve out room for masculine gender expression and body diversity outside mainstream beauty norms. The word is niche and mostly spoken rather than written, so usage varies by region and community. As with any body-based label, whether it reads as fond or unwelcome depends on who is using it and how.
