lesbianism

Lesbianism refers to the romantic and sexual attraction that lesbian women feel toward other women. It is a natural aspect of human diversity related to sexual orientation, which describes the pattern of emotional, romantic, and sexual attractions individuals experience. Being lesbian is an inherent part of a person’s identity and is recognized across cultures and societies. Importantly, it is distinct from behaviors or preferences; it pertains to genuine, ongoing feelings of attraction. Understanding and respecting lesbian identities contribute to a more inclusive and accepting society.
