I thought it just meant '(stereotypically) feminine'. What does it mean?

It's a lesbian who is feminine, it's the counterpart to butch.

I see, I didn't realise it was specific to lesbians. Thank you

Previous to the last few years, I always thought it was a very specific lesbian dating thing. Femmes play up their femininity and often seek out butches.
