[[File:LsL.png|thumb|220px|The LsL "pride flag".]]A '''Longsword Lesbian''' ('''LSL''') is an [[Exclusionist|exclusionary]] [[Lesbian|lesbian]] fighting against lesbian erasure. It is an autonym for those who believe the label of "lesbian" has been eroded or diminished by [[Non-Binary|non-binary]], [[Pronoun Non-Conforming|pronoun non-conforming]], and [[Multisexual|multisexual-spectrum]] lesbians.

A tweet by Twitter user missyxthirteen indicates that the primary flag was created by now-deactivated Instagram user flop._.shop on or before June 27, 2020. The tweet also provided the significance of the flag's seven stripes. From top to bottom, the colors represent being against he/him, they/them, and neopronoun lesbians; the purity of lesbianism; exclusive attraction to women; the safety felt around others with she/her pronouns; and the label only being applicable to binary women.<ref>https://twitter.com/missyxthirteen/status/1276800548998529024</ref>
== Identities Excluded ==
Longsword lesbians exclude [[Pronoun Non-Conforming|pronoun non-comforming]] lesbians from the belief that pronouns indicate or influence gender. However, lesbianism has long been associated with gender nonconformity and experimentation throughout history. These discrepancies have generated a large amount of controversary over the use of the longsword lesbian term. Many languages exist that lack gender-specific pronouns, making the claim not universally applicable.
Longsword lesbians mandate that a lesbian must be a binary woman attracted exclusively to binary women. Traditionally, this definition has been used by dictionaries, such as the ''Oxford English Dictionary'', which defines a lesbian as a homosexual woman. This is the most common use of the word lesbian.
Other identities excluded include:
*[[Bi-Lesbian|Bi-Lesbians]]
*[[Pan-Lesbian|Pan-Lesbians]]
*[[Poly-Lesbian|Poly-Lesbians]]
*[[Omni-Lesbian|Omni-lesbians]]
*[[Non-Binary Lesbian|Non-binary lesbians]]
