I agree with Toughy. The question to me does not imply how the person identifies or feels about themselves one way or another. It could be based on what has been said to the person (why do you look like a man) or about their own internal feelings or a combination of both.

A young butch questioning things does not automatically mean they are trans. They may be or they may not be. Being a butch or other type of non-conforming woman brings many questions as well.

My default for butch is also she. I only call a butch he if that is what an individual person specifically wants to be called. The vast majority of butches I have ever met in real life have been she.
