本研究旨在理解陽剛女同志的身體意象形塑經驗，探討其性別氣質認同、身體實踐、他人目光、社會期待與親密／性經驗如何交織並影響其對自身身體的理解、感受、評價、情緒反應、身體實踐，以及在他人目光與親密關係中所經驗到的身體位置。本研究採質性研究取向，以半結構式深度訪談蒐集資料，最終納入三位陽剛女同志之訪談資料作為正式分析文本，並採用敘事分析之「類別—內容」模式進行分析。
　　研究結果發現，陽剛女同志的身體意象並非僅是對外貌、身材或特定身體部位的滿意與否，而是與其性別氣質認同、自我認同及社會位置密切交織。三位研究參與者皆在成長歷程中，透過服裝、髮型、身體發育、家庭規範、學校經驗與他人回應，逐步意識到自身身體與主流女性氣質期待之間的落差；並透過短髮、中性穿著、束胸、姿態調整與身體界線的建立，使身體更貼近自身感受與性別氣質。其次，他人目光、社會期待與同志社群內部的分類語言，亦參與其身體意象的形成，使陽剛女同志在被觀看、被誤認、被質疑或被肯定的經驗中，持續協商身體與自我之間的關係。再者，親密關係與性經驗是身體意象轉變的重要場域，身體是否被尊重、被觸碰、被慾望與被理解，皆可能影響其對身體的接納與重新詮釋。
　　整體而言，本研究指出，陽剛女同志的身體意象是一個在生命歷程中逐步形成、持續協商並可能轉變的動態歷程。身體不只是承載規範與壓力的場域，也是實踐性別氣質、協商關係與安放自我的重要媒介。研究結果可提供心理諮商、性別教育與多元性別友善實務對陽剛女同志身體經驗更細緻的理解。

This study aims to understand the formation of body image among masculine lesbians by exploring how gender expression identity, body practices, others’ gazes, social expectations, and intimate and sexual experiences intersect and shape their understandings, feelings, evaluations, emotional responses, and practices concerning their bodies, as well as the bodily positions they experience under others’ gazes and within intimate relationships. A qualitative research approach was adopted. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, and the interview data of three masculine lesbians were included as the formal analytical texts. The data were analyzed using the categorical-content mode of narrative analysis.
　　The findings indicate that body image among masculine lesbians is not merely a matter of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with appearance, body shape, or specific body parts. Rather, it is closely intertwined with gender expression identity, self-identity, and social positioning. Throughout their developmental processes, the three participants gradually became aware of the gap between their bodies and mainstream expectations of femininity through clothing, hairstyles, bodily development, family norms, school experiences, and responses from others. Through practices such as short hair, gender-neutral clothing, chest binding, bodily posture adjustment, and the establishment of bodily boundaries, they attempted to make their bodies feel closer to their own experiences and gender expression. In addition, others’ gazes, social expectations, and classification systems within lesbian communities also participated in the formation of their body image, leading masculine lesbians to continually negotiate the relationship between their bodies and selves through experiences of being seen, misrecognized, questioned, or affirmed. Furthermore, intimate relationships and sexual experiences served as important sites for the transformation of body image. Whether the body was respected, touched, desired, and understood could influence participants’ acceptance and reinterpretation of their bodies.
　　Overall, this study suggests that body image among masculine lesbians is a dynamic process that gradually develops, is continuously negotiated, and may transform throughout the life course. The body is not only a site that carries norms and pressures, but also an important medium through which masculine lesbians practice gender expression, negotiate relationships, and situate the self. The findings provide a more nuanced understanding of masculine lesbians’ bodily experiences and may contribute to counseling practice, gender education, and gender-inclusive services.
