A '''they/them lesbian '''refers to a [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Lesbian lesbian] who uses they/them [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Pronouns pronouns.] They/them lesbians may be a woman, [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Lunarian woman-aligned], or non-binary. The term can be used by any woman or non-binary person who is wlw ([https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Sapphic sapphic]) and uses they/them pronouns. Those pronouns can be exclusive or one can be [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Multipronouns multipronoun]. It is a more specific form of [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Pronoun_Non-Conforming pronoun non-conformity] and [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Crosspronoun crosspronoun] usage. It is a common lesbian experience to feel disconnected from womanhood due to womanhood often being defined by relationships to men. Similarly to how lesbians might go by masculine/androgynous names, present as a [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Butch butch], or otherwise [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Gender_Non-Conforming gender non-conforming], a lesbian may refer to themself by they/them to express this disconnect from their gender. |

There also exists [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/He/Him_Lesbian he/him lesbians], [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/She/Her_Gay she/her gay], [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/It/Its_Gay it/its gay] people, and [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/They/Them_Gay they/them gay] people. |

Some they/them lesbians are non-binary, but a they/them lesbian does not necessarily have to identify as non-binary. They may acknowledge they are female, but pronouns do not always equal gender identity, as a they/them lesbian is also more specific form of pronoun non-conforming lesbians. |
|||
It is a common misunderstanding that they/them and [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/He/Him_Lesbian he/him lesbians] "make the [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Transgender transgender] community and [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Non-Binary nonbinary] community look bad", but that is simply the fault of the people who refuse to think about the subject or break down the concept to understand it. Oftentimes, pronouns are gendered but in some cases they're not despite what society says. The pronouns one uses are another part of [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Gender_Presentation gender expression], just like one's clothes or behavior. In the same way some [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Non-Binary non-binary] people are more comfortable using pronouns other than they/them, some [https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/Binary_Genders binary] people feel more comfortable using pronouns other than the one's typically associated with their gender. |

The they/them lesbian flag was designed by Tumblr user Wuvsbian on June 12th, 2018 as a followup to the he/him lesbian flag. <sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference">[https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/He/Him_Lesbian#cite_note-0 [1]]</sup> The rainbow was used to encompass all the different ways they/them lesbians interact and express themselves and their lesbian and gender identity. |
