    flag.|gender(s):=Any (usually excluding binary men)|gender(s)_attracted_to:=Women (usually exclusively)}}'''Lesbian''' is a term that defines [[queer]] [[attraction]] to [[women]]. This [[attraction]] is most commonly used as exclusively wlw/nblw attraction, as communities surrounding exclusive wlw/nblw have become the primary part of the lesbian community. However, there is no one perfect definition that encompasses all experiences of lesbianism. This term includes [[butch]], [[femme]], [[non-binary]], [[anonbinary]], [[cusper]], and [[multigender]]ed individuals.

    The majority of lesbians are exclusively wlw/nblw, including all [[Trixic|NBLW]], [[Asterian|WLNB]], and [[Enbian|NBLNB]] attractions. However, despite this, for some lesbians, the attraction is not exclusive, as m-spec lesbianism (especially [[Bi-Lesbian|bi-lesbianism]]) is a historically seen identification.

    ===The Kinsey report===
    ===The Kinsey report===
    In 1953, more than 8,000 American women were interviewed for an in-depth report on female sexuality (''Sexual Behavior in the Human Female)'', led by Alfred Kinsey and his staff. They reported that 28% of women had been aroused by another female, and 19% had sexual contact with another female. Of these women, half to two-thirds of them had experienced an orgasm. Single women had the most prevalence of homosexual behavior, the next being widowed, divorced and separated women.

    The [[Lykoi Lesbian|lykoi lesbian]] flag design was created by wiki user [[User:Wemrotung|Wemrotung]] on June 1, 2021. The color associations are as follows: Raspberry represents gender non-conforming and pronoun non-conforming lesbians, such as he/him and they/them lesbians, as well as complex or non-normative connections to womanhood. Pink represents sapphic love, sex, attraction, and relationships. Yellow represents community and inclusion. White represents transgender, non-binary, and [[intersex]] lesbians. Blue represents lesbian history, culture, and solidarity with the rest of the LGBTQ+ community. Purple represents mspec lesbians. Dark purple represents aspec lesbians. Lykoi lesbian is a term coined by wiki user [[User:Wemrotung|Wemrotung]], intended to represent inclusive lesbians and fight back against [[Longsword Lesbian|longsword lesbians]] and similar [[Exclusionist|exclusionists]]. It is similar to [[Lesbians of the Longbow|lesbians of the longbow]], but with less violent phrasing, using cats rather than weapons to symbolize acceptance and inclusivity. The lykoi symbolism is meant to be cute and cuddly, yet fierce and energetic. [[User:Wemrotung|Wemrotung]] is a [[Gaybian|lesbivincian]] [[Butch Twink|butchwink]].

    A more inclusive lesbian flag was designed by YouTuber Astri-Nomical on June 29, 2021. The darkest red stands for masculinity, followed by a lighter red for non she/her lesbians, a lighter red for POC lesbians, white for love and freedom, the lightest pink for ND lesbians, a darker pink for non-cis lesbians, and the darkest pink for feminity.

    Another alternate lesbian flag was made by FANDOM user Astarte Snow on November 28th, 2021. It was created to replace the sunset flag. <ref> https://lgbta.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000223709/r/4400000000000763492</ref>
