A Bisexual Lesbian (or Bi-Lesbian for short) is someone who is both bisexual and a lesbian. This term can be used by women who use the split attraction model and are bisexual and homoromantic (lesbian) or someone who experiences lesbian tertiary attraction. They have sexual attraction to two or more genders but are only romantically attracted to women. They may find themselves sexually attracted to men, but could never picture themselves in a relationship with one, putting more emphasis on their attraction to women, though this varies from person to person. It can also be used by people who identify as both bisexual and lesbian, either due to changing attraction, or due being part of plural system.
The term is also sometimes use when one is bisexual, but prioritizes their attraction to women or has a preference for women, although this definition has been criticized for being reductive of the words lesbian and bisexual. It implies that lesbians can be attracted to men and also perpetuates the misconception that bisexual people who prefer the same sex or are dating the same sex are "basically gay". The term sapphic bisexual can be used to more accurately describe this identity.
