'''Camiona''' is a pejorative word used primarily against [[masculine]] [[Female|women]],
Similar terms and variations include: ''camionera'', ''camión'' (Ecuador and Venezuela), ''camionero'' (Guatemala), ''[[juana tres cocos]]'' (Spain), ''[[marimacho]]'' and [[Dyke|''d*ke'']].
== Origins ==▼
The word translates directly from Spanish as "truck" [https://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=cami%C3%B3n <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>], but with the letter A at the end indicating that the word applies to women [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_gender#Grammatical_gender_as_agreement_or_concord <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>]. It comes from the general lesbophobic tradition of comparing masculine women with men and heavy vehicles, following the example of "traktorlesbe" in Norwegian [https://www.moscasdecolores.com/en/lesbian-dictionary/spanish/camionera/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CTraktorlesbe%E2%80%9D%20(Lesbian%20Tractor)%20used%20in%20Norway. <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>] and "troquera" in Spanglish [https://www.moscasdecolores.com/en/lesbian-dictionary/spanish/troquera/ <nowiki>[5]</nowiki>].▼

== Reclamation ==▼
Sapphic women can be seen reclaiming the word as their own, however it is still not advisable to use it without permission, as it may be uncomfortable for specific women in the community.▼
