'''Genderfluid lesbian''' refers to a [[genderfluid]] person who also identifies as a [[lesbian]]. Typically, their gender is female or [[Gender Alignment|woman-aligned]] with their gender being infrequently or never male-aligned. A genderfluid person may also refer to themself as such while their gender is [[abinary]] and they are attracted to women or women-aligned [[non-binary]]. |
|||
Genderfluid lesbians fall under the [[Non-binary Lesbian|non-binary lesbian]] umbrella, though they may identify exclusively as one or the other. |
|||
A genderfluid lesbian may instead refer to themself as [[aurorasexual]] or [[auroraromantic]]. |
|||
==History== |
|||
The term "genderfluid lesbian" is a combination of the aforementioned terms. Though the history of genderfluid lesbians is not concrete and may overlap heavily with the history of non-binary lesbians as a whole, the term itself has seen resurgence in online spaces such as Tumblr and Reddit, where discussion of less common overlapping identities has become increasingly commonplace. |

On August 7th, 2018, genderfluid actress Ruby Rose faced criticism for identifying as a genderfluid lesbian upon being cast as the titular character of ''Arrowverse'' crossover ''Batwoman''. In a June 5th, 2019 interview with ''Entertainment Weekly'', Rose addressed the backlash and suggested that an alternate term for wlw that is more accommodating of genderfluidity may be in order.<ref>https://www.washingtonblade.com/2019/06/10/ruby-rose-addresses-criticism-for-identifying-as-gender-fluid-and-a-lesbian/</ref><ref>https://ew.com/celebrity/2019/06/05/batwoman-ruby-rose-lesbian-backlash-interview/</ref> |

An informational carrd about genderfluid lesbians was made public on August 29th, 2020, on the Gfluidbians Twitter account.<ref>https://twitter.com/Gfluidbians/status/1299824267463335937</ref> The carrd defines a genderfluid lesbian as, "a lesbian who also identifies as genderfluid. Meaning: their gender identity fluctuates, and their sexuality is women-oriented."<ref>https://genderfluidlesbians.carrd.co/#guide</ref> |
|||
==Flag== |
|||
One of the earliest online iterations of the genderfluid lesbian flag was created by Tumblr user Lorenzo (aka. sleepy-sunnys) and posted to his blog ''Pride is Every Month'' on May 13, 2018.<ref>https://sleepy-pride-flags.tumblr.com/post/173875544852/lesbian-genderfluid-flag</ref> |
|||
Another genderfluid lesbian flag was created by Tumblr user Bulldykebutch that same year, and was posted to the now-unused blog ''Lesbiflag'' on June 8th, 2018.<ref>https://lesbiflag.tumblr.com/post/174702521831/howdy-if-its-alright-with-you-could-i-request</ref> An updated version of this flag with the stripe meanings was posted by the same user on June 21st, 2020.<ref>https://lesbiflag.tumblr.com/post/621555247557525504/slight-remake-of-my-old-genderfluid-lesbian-flag</ref> The meaning of the stripes for the updated version of the flag are as follows: Red for trans lesbians, magenta for fluidity, pink for [[Femme|femme]] lesbians, off-white for multiple genders, purple for [[Butch|butch]] lesbians, blue for [[Gender Non-Conforming|gender non-conformity]], and dark blue for lack of gender.<ref>https://gflesbian.carrd.co/assets/images/image07.jpg?v38094681277951</ref> |
|||
A genderfluid lesbian flag using a different color palette was created by Twitter user Gfluidbians and posted on August 26th, 2020.<ref>https://twitter.com/Gfluidbians/status/1298720816876515328</ref> Meanings for this flag's stripes were also included, and are as follows: Dark red to encompass all lesbian relationships, cherry red for femininity, light pink for love of oneself and others, off-white for absence/partial absence of gender, yellow for independence from the binary, dark rose gold for fluidity, and indigo for masculinity.<ref>https://genderfluidlesbians.carrd.co/#flag</ref> |
|||
Occasionally a half-lesbian, half-genderfluid flag may be used in place of the unique genderfluid lesbian flags; similarly, a genderfluid flag may contain a lesbian-flag heart in the middle or vice versa (not unlike many flags for [[Romantic Orientation|romantic orientation]]). |
|||
Other proposed genderfluid lesbian flags include those posted by Tumblr users cookieloverdeluxe<ref>https://cookieloverdeluxe.tumblr.com/post/186196097054</ref>, mimikyufriend<ref>https://mimikyufriend-moved.tumblr.com/post/186875390498/its-self-indulgent-hours-i-made-a-genderfluid</ref>, pride-flag-proud<ref>https://pride-flag-proud.tumblr.com/post/189461985005/can-you-make-a-genderfluid-lesbian-flag</ref>, and Reddit user WrongComparison<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/QueerVexillology/comments/jj2zmz/lesbiangenderfluid_flag_for_uchaoticlizzard/</ref>. |
