The Futch Scale is a humorous and analytical cultural tool used primarily within the lesbian and sapphic communities to describe a person's aesthetic and gender presentation. Combining the terms 'femme' and 'butch,' 'futch' represents the middle ground of the spectrum. The meme typically takes the form of a chart or horizontal axis, where users place various characters, celebrities, or even inanimate objects to determine where they land between hyper-feminine and hyper-masculine styles. Originating in queer internet spaces like Tumblr and Twitter, the scale serves as both a serious way to discuss identity and a playful way to categorize pop culture icons, often sparking lighthearted debates over exactly how 'butch' or 'femme' a character truly is.
