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,
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.

==Flag ==
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.
