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

=== Masc Lesbians ===
'''Masc Lesbians''' are individuals who identify as male or masculine in a non-traditional sense (through being multigender, non-binary men, [[Agender Man|agender men]], women-aligned men, etc.) that have lesbian attraction towards women. Male lesbians may or may not identify with terms such as '''[[Lesboy]]''' and/or '''[[Lesboi]]'''. Cisgender binary men are the only men, queer or not, who can't identify as lesbians.
In general, binary men cannot be lesbians. However, while being trans makes them no less of men in any way, some binary trans men may choose to still identify with the label/community if they identified as such before realizing they were men and still feel some form of connection to the term and community despite realizing they were men. This is up to the individual trans man, as they may feel more safe continuing to identify as lesbian/be part of lesbian spaces, either due to personal history, discomfort with male spaces due to trauma from cis men, or other personal reasons.
