[[File:He him lesbian.jpg|thumb|220x220px|The he/him lesbian flag.]]Is stupid, invalid, and harmful bumble-fucking bullshit [[File:5stripehehimlesbian.png|thumb|220x220px|An alternative, 5 striped version of the he/him lesbian flag.]]A '''he/him lesbian''' refers to a [[lesbian]] who uses he/him [[pronouns]] but is that still a [[woman]] or woman-[[Gender Alignment|aligned]]. It is a more specific form of [[Pronoun Non-Conforming|pronoun non-conformity]] and [[crosspronoun]] usage. A he/him lesbian does not identify as male. The pronouns one uses are another part of [[Gender Presentation|gender expression]], just like one's clothes or behavior. In the same way some [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] people are more comfortable using pronouns other than they/them, some [[Binary Genders|binary]] people 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- though they still identify 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.
