The article explores the complexities of lesbian identity, highlighting that it extends beyond sexual orientation. Lesbians come with diverse identities and presentations, including but not limited to butch or femme. A recent incident involving actor Lily-Rose Depp referring to rapper 070 Shake as her 'boyfriend' stirred discussion, illustrating how terms like 'lesbian boyfriend' reflect broader cultural dynamics. This playful use of language acknowledges diverse gender expressions, showcasing the fluidity within lesbian relationships and challenging traditional gender roles rooted in patriarchy and heteronormativity.
"The naming of a 'lesbian boyfriend' is often not as much a rigid label, but more a playful or perfunctory acknowledgment of someone who contains multiple gender expressions their partner wants to honour."
"Being a lesbian is certainly about loving women, but it is also a whole lot more; there is no one single way to be a lesbian."
