This flag is created for bi women/woman-aligned people who are more strongly attracted to women. Historically, the term lesbian has included bi, pan, or other m-spec women.
[Image: Flag with 7 stripes: Pink, purple, blue, off-white, light pink, light red, dark red. Basically, the top stripes of the lesbian flag replaced with the bi flag].
i hope all lesbians with complex identities are having a good day today! youre not any less of a lesbian and certainly not a bad person because your identity is outside of the norm. youre wonderfully unique and deserving of love!
On Twitter the Mspec Lesbian community and supporters have created Mspec Lesbian Visibility and Awareness Day and Week.
Mspec Lesbians are often invalidated by those in and outside of the LGBTQIA+ community. This day and week are important to helping to advance the acceptance and visibility of Mspec Lesbians.
Mspec Lesbian Visibility & Awareness Week is May 22nd - May 28th.
The date for Mspec Lesbian Visibility & Awareness Day is May 26th.
Reblog and spread the word!
Update: Mspec Lesbian Visibility & Awareness Day and Week have been added to Pronouns.Page’s Queer Calendar.
it makes me so happy when i see other mspec lesbians around… just going about my day and randomly stumbling on another mspec lesbian when i wasnt even searching for queer stuff. its just so like !!!!!! oh!! hello!!! same hat!!!!!
I’m wishing all bi lesbians a happy BiVisibilityWeek! Because, yes, this week is for you, too! Y'all are lovely and truly make the world a better place. Thank you for existing and being awesome. Much love to y'all!!
there’s no one right way to be a lesbian. you can be nonbinary and a lesbian. you can be multisexual and a lesbian. you can be ace or aro and a lesbian. you can be all three at once. you can be a male lesbian. you don’t even have to be a woman. if you feel that the lesbian label is what best describes you, then you go for it. we couldn’t be happier to have you.
i love all yall other mspec lesbians and supporters, seriously. having to deal with exclusionists and their hate for years now can be so frustrating, but seeing more and more people identifying as or supporting mspec lesbians is so lovely to see. and when yall send me messages thanking me for running my blog, it makes standing my ground against hateful people SO worth it. i may enjoy to run on spite against people who hate me, but when i know what im doing is genuinely helping others like me too, it feels so nice ♡♡♡ spite energy can be good, but love energy is even better!
tbh it’s really sad how most people who are questioning their gender/sexuality will say stuff like “well i feel like this label fits me and it describes my experiences really well and i feel happy using this label BUT i don’t 100% fit the definition so am i allowed to call myself that??”
like yes!! yes yes YES you are ABSOLUTELY allowed to call yourself that!! it’s OKAY if you don’t fit the rigid definition of a label, if it fits you and it makes you happy, you are totally allowed to use it!!
or people will be like “well i feel like BOTH these labels fit me am i allowed to use both?? do i have to pick just one i don’t want to they both fit me so well” you can use both!! even if a label is “contradictory” or whatever if it makes you happy you can use it!! you don’t have to fit the rigid definition, it’s okay!! do what makes you happy!!
at the end of the day it all boils down to what makes you happy!! if you feel like an identity fits you, you can use that label even if you don’t 100% fit the definition or you have another label that might “contradict” it!!
be happy!! live your life use whatever labels you want it’s okay!! laugh and live and smile and breathe go outside and look at the sky and feel the wind rush past you and smile and it’s all going to be okay. do what makes you happy!! i love you <3
Lmao mspec lesbians are awesome actually, and I, as a fellow bi, welcome my bi lesbian siblings with open arms. ♥️
Being a lesbian doesn’t negate your bi label(or Vice versa of course), and it’s not negatively affecting me one bit to accept you unconditionally! It’s actually pretty easy and also costs $0.00.
how do exclusionists even themselves use the “bi means attraction to 2 or more genders” definition and not see how that overlaps with their definition of “lesbian is non-men attraction to non-men.”
like the “non-men” definition has its issues with not considering multigender people and other complex gender identities- but even aside that, either you see nonbinary genders as their own many range of genders or you dont, you cant pick and choose when to consider them as multiple genders. liking women and some enbies would be 2+ genders. its mspec. lesbian in this way is mspec, whether you explicitly identify as mspec or not.
reminder that gender cant be tidied up into some distinctive “men” and “non-men” binary. you are not truly accepting genderqueer people when you use this sort of categorical framing. bigender people exist. genderfluid people exist. nonbinary people who dont even Know if they fall under “man” or “non-man” exists. and various other sorts of gender identities. by defining lesbian as exclusively “non-men” you are ostracizing so many genderqueer people.
image descrition: Previous photo is of two apparently female figures standing close to one another in a sexually tense moment. The person on the left stands isometrically to the camera with their back turned mostly to the viewer but the side of their face, jacket, and legs visible. This person is pale and wears a large black leather jacket, dark charcoal jeans, black cowboy boots and has their auburn hair down. They also are smoking a cigarette and looking down at the other figure.
The other figure is a lot less clothed and leans against a dining table’s chair almost as if they had stumbled back and are now pinned there by sexual intimidation of the first figure.Our second figure has lightly tanned skin, long dark hair pulled back into a high ponytail and large dark eyes emphasized by mascara and eye shadow. They wear black lacy, semi transparent lingerie consisting of a long sleeveless “coat” which drapes just barely over their breasts and hangs down behind them and off to either side. And they wear a pair of black garters attached to some smoky nylon stockings. Their feet are in black stilettoes and are splayed between the legs of the domineering figure.
They both appear to be in an old fancy hotel suite, with adult beverages in a silver cart on the side.
![A parody photo of the previous image. It creates the backdrop as a pastel watercolor, and has Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn drawn over each previous feminine figure Poison Ivy is on the left wearing a dark green leather jacket with 3 patches: a prominent "Be Green, Do Crime" patch with a rainbow-ish background, a circular patch that look likes Earth, and an Anarchy patch on the left sleeve facing away from the viewer. Her hair is bright orange-red with leafy vines and poison ivy leaves sticking up out of her long wild hair. Instead of a cigarette is a chewing twig and her dark charcoal jeans are torn at her knees showing off more of her olive green skin tone. Her cowboy boots are now a darkish green with red and light green detailing that makes heart shaped roses, leaves, and spiraled stems with thorns. Harley Quinn is on the right. She has medium tan skin and large brown eyes, but her brown hair has been shown to be shaved on the side so that her dyed blonde hair is piled up in the middle before being tied back into a pair of close-set pig tails. The one on the viewers right has a baby blue pontail holder and the dark blonde hair is dyed a teal-indigo-blue half way towards the end. The pigtail on the viewer's left has a pale pink pontyatil holder and likewise ends in red. There is red and blue clown paint diamonds over her eyes, but in the reverse order of the pigtails (red on our right, blue on our left). She wears a gold hoop earring, and her long sleeveless lingerie coat is now half pale salmon pink and half pale baby blue (same color as the pony tail holders) with pink on our right and blue on our left. Each side seems to have a heart and 3 diamonds in the colors of the opposite side (like a yin and yang reversal) sensually placed over the breast. The coat is torn at its bottom edges as if its seen a lot of action. Harley seems to have red tattoes on the side that faces the viewer, including a tattoo on her upper arm that bears resemblance to a poison ivy leaf by combining three red diamonds in the shape of a club (like from a card game). Red diamond tattoos circle her wrist and ankle like bracelets, and we can see that blue diamonds encircle her other ankle that sticks out between Poison Ivy's legs. She has red nail polish on the one hand that we can see. The lacey parts of her underwear bear resemblance to the spiraled thorn designs on ivy's boots. A slight natural buldge sticks out from her underwear, and the non-lacey charcoal parts attatch via garters to smoky and semi-teansparent nylon stockings. A red stiletto on the blue diamond ankled foot and a blue-indigo stilhetto on the red diamond ankled foot. Harley has fresh, lighter colored battle scars covering her hands, arm, torso, splitting her eyebrow, and grazing across the side of her shaved head. (And subtle stretch marks between her thighs) And she has older darker battle scars out from her bottom lip, across her shoulder, torso, legs, and stomach: including some that seem to spell out "Ha Ha" but is partially obscured by the coat.

![A rectangular page with two images. At the very top are the words "We took different roads...", beneath which are a cluster of pride pins bearing different pride flags.
