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 modern idea that non-men are the only ones allowed to use the lesbian label excludes [[Non-Binary Man|non-binary men]] who feel as though the term lesbian best fits their attraction. It also forces identifying as a [[man]] into a [[binary]], which is simply not the case, as manhood does not have to be strictly binary in nature. In almost all scenarios (excluding individual trans men who identify with the label for personal reasons), binary men can't be lesbians, but non-binary manhood is different from binary manhood, and forcing it into a binary is harmful to non-binary men. |

If one is to exclude non-binary men from lesbianism, they are endorsing in [[Exorsexism|exorsexist]] behaviour. Additionally, not all [[non-binary]] individuals feel comfortable being included under lesbian attraction, and that should be respected and validated. |
