    [Intro]


    '''Sapphic''', also known as '''woman loving woman''' ('''WLW'''), '''girls loving girls''' ('''GLG'''), '''LMQ''' ([[Lesbian]], [[M-spec]], [[Queer]]), '''QLW'''/'''WLQ''' (queer loving women or women-loving queer), '''difemina''', or '''sapphist''', refers to a [[woman]] or [[genderqueer]]/[[non-binary]] individual who is [[attracted]] at least to women/enbys, [[Suptilic|exclusively]] or [[Amplusic|not]]. They may or may not be attracted to other [[genders]] as well. This attraction does not need to be exclusive, as the label is used as a way to unify all women or women-aligned individuals who love other women such as [[lesbian]]s, [[pluralian]] women/enbies (including those who are [[bisexual]], [[pansexual]], [[omnisexual]], [[queer]], and other [[Multisexual|m-spec]] women/enbys), [[femaric]] [[a-spec]] women/enbies, promoting solidarity among women/enbys of all identities who are attracted to other women/enbys.

    The term can be used as a modifier combined with other identities to show that one emphasizes or prioritizes their attraction to and relationships with other women/enbys. It may also be used as an identity on its own, and may be found particularly useful for individuals who know they are attracted to women/enbys but may be uncertain if they are attracted to other genders. It can also be used to describe a relationship between two women.

    It can be used as the non-exclusive counterpart to [[lesbian]]. Lesbian and sapphic are the woman-loving-woman counterparts to [[faunic]] and [[daunic]], which are non-men-loving-non-men.

    Sapphic, also known as woman loving woman (WLW), girls loving girls (GLG), LMQ (Lesbian, M-spec, Queer), QLW/WLQ (queer loving women or women-loving queer), difemina, or sapphist, refers to a woman or genderqueer/non-binary individual who is attracted at least to women/enbys, exclusively or not. They may or may not be attracted to other genders as well. This attraction does not need to be exclusive, as the label is used as a way to unify all women or women-aligned individuals who love other women such as lesbians, pluralian women/enbies (including those who are bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, queer, and other m-spec women/enbys), femaric a-spec women/enbies, promoting solidarity among women/enbys of all identities who are attracted to other women/enbys.

    The term can be used as a modifier combined with other identities to show that one emphasizes or prioritizes their attraction to and relationships with other women/enbys. It may also be used as an identity on its own, and may be found particularly useful for individuals who know they are attracted to women/enbys but may be uncertain if they are attracted to other genders. It can also be used to describe a relationship between two women.

    It can be used as the non-exclusive counterpart to lesbian. Lesbian and sapphic are the woman-loving-woman counterparts to faunic and daunic, which are non-men-loving-non-men.

    The non-binary counterparts are diamoric and enbian. The mascic counterpart is julietian. The male counterpart is romeric. The MLM counterpart is achillean or vincian.

    There is also sapphixic, which is the overlap between trixic and sapphic.

    Etymology

    The word sapphic comes from the name of the Greek poet Sappho. The island she was born on, Lesbos, is where the word lesbian is derived from.

    Sapphic is also a type of poetry comprised of four line stanzas of similar meter.[1] Sapphic poems are historically popular and written by individuals of all genders.

    Use in History

    Although historians use the term sapphic retrospectively,[2][3] the first use of sapphic as a sexual orientation was by sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld in his pamphlet "Sappho and Socrates: Or How is the Love of Men and Women for Persons of Their Own Sex Explained?"[4]

    Up until the late 2000s and early 2010s, sapphic was used primarily as an adjective version of lesbian.[5][6] The first known use of sapphic as an independent identity is by Tumblr user sapphicseekingsapphic on February 23, 2012.[7]

    Flag

    The original sapphic flag was created by Tumblr user lesbeux-moved on August 14, 2015.[8] The sapphic flag has two pink stripes on the top and bottom, symbolizing love. In the center there is a violet, which was historically given between women to symbolize their sapphic love. In the center of the original flag is a realistic pair of violets.

    As a response to the difficulty of replicating the violets in the center, Tumblr user pride-color-schemes simplified the flag and created the modern sapphic flag on June 25, 2017.[9]

    The demi-sapphic flag was created by an anonymous wiki user on August 3, 2021. It is the sapphic flag in the demi- flag format. The dark grey stripe stands for a-spec attraction. This flag can be used for sexual, romantic, and tertiary attraction.
