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===
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.

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]].
