A '''he/him lesbian''' or '''hesbian''' refers to a [[lesbian]] who uses he/him [[pronouns]]. It is a more specific form of [[Pronoun Non-Conforming|pronoun non-conformity]] and [[crosspronoun]] usage. A he/him lesbian does not necessarily identify as male, because pronouns do not always equal gender, but instead are another part of [[Gender Presentation|gender expression]] similar to one's clothes or behavior.
In the same way some [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] individuals are more comfortable using pronouns other than they/them, some [[Binary Genders|binary]] individuals may feel more comfortable using pronouns other than the one's typically associated with their gender. Feeling a disconnect from womanhood is a common experience among lesbians, despite typically identifying as women through their [[sapphic]] attraction. Similarly to how some lesbians might go by masculine names or present as a [[butch]] to express this disconnect a lesbian may also refer to themself by he/him to express a disconnect from their gender.
[[Neopronoun Gay|Neopronoun gays]], [[Neopronoun Lesbian|neopronoun lesbians]], [[She/Her Gay|she/her gays]], [[They/Them Lesbian|they/them lesbians]], [[It/Its Lesbian|it/its lesbians]], [[It/Its Gay|it/its gay]] and [[They/Them Gay|they/them gay]] identities exist through the same principle.
The he/him lesbian flag was designed by Tumblr user Wuvsbian on May 20, 2018.<ref>{{Archive|URL=https://wuvsbian.tumblr.com/post/174100520997/hehim-lesbian-flag-made-rainbow-to-encompass|Site=today}}</ref> The rainbow was used to encompass all the different ways he/him lesbians express themselves through sexual and gender identity. The colors were chosen to try to represent butch lesbians, [[femme]] lesbians, those who don't identify as either, as well as [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] lesbians. However, many he/him lesbians no longer resonate with this flag, as the creator no longer identifies as a lesbian nor uses he/him pronouns, as well as a lack of adequate meaning in regards to the stripes of the flags.
A new, more commonly used he/him lesbian flag was created by Twitter user laviatte on December 22, 2021 on a lesbian flag archive account under the name of lesflags.<ref>{{Archive|URL=https://twitter.com/lesflags/status/1473889247253856257?s=20&t=xZkNKupQS1fz3Kaz6vBVrA|Site=today}}</ref> The meanings of the flag represent unique gender expression, disconnection to womanhood, connections to masculinity, he/him lesbians under the transgender and non-binary umbrella, gender non-conformity, comfort in using he/him pronouns, and attraction to non-men. On July 12, 2022, a simplified 5-stripe version of this flag was created.<ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=https://twitter.com/laviatte/status/1546981456425000961?s=20&t=xZkNKupQS1fz3Kaz6vBVrA}}</ref>
