A '''he/him lesbian''' or '''hesbian''' refers to a [[lesbian]] who uses he/him [[pronouns]] but is still a [[woman]], woman-[[Gender Alignment|aligned]], or non-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 because pronouns do not always equal gender, however, 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]] individuals are more comfortable using pronouns other than they/them, some [[Binary Genders|binary]] individuals 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.

An additional flag was created by Twitter user laviatte on December 22, 2021 on a lesbian flag archive account under the name of lesflags.<ref>https://twitter.com/lesflags/status/1473889247253856257?s=20&t=xZkNKupQS1fz3Kaz6vBVrA</ref> The meanings of the flag represent unique gender expression, disconnection to womanhood, connections to masculinity, he/him lesbians under the transgender and non-binary umbrella, gender non-conformity, comfort in using he/him pronouns, and attraction to non-men. On July 12, 2022, a simplified 5-stripe version of this flag was created.<ref>https://twitter.com/laviatte/status/1546981456425000961?s=20&t=xZkNKupQS1fz3Kaz6vBVrA</ref>
