What is bi lesbian?
A bi lesbian typically refers to someone who prefers feminine nonbinary people, but doesn't want to misgender them. It can also refer to someone who is sexually attracted to women but will date men. In their minds, the 'lesbian' part in this refers not to girl on girl, but is referring to the femininity of the gender they are attracted to. This isn't the best way to call themselves, however. They should call themselves "bi with a female lean," because lesbian is a term that means female on female, and bisexual contradicts that.
I am a bi lesbian because I don't know how to word things properly.

What does "bi lesbian" mean?
An oxymoronic label some people are insistent on using that invalidates both the bisexual and lesbian communities. If someone experiences any sort of attraction to men they are NOT a lesbian. If someone is bisexual with a preference for women they are a bisexual with a preference. Stop being afraid of calling yourself bisexual and insisting on clinging to labels that don't apply to you.
Girl 1: Yeah, I'm a bi lesbian! I'm romantically attracted to women and sexually attracted to men and women!
Girl 2: Girlie please be fr, you can't be calling yourself a lesbian if you're attracted to men in any way...

Bi lesbian - definition
A term that has been used for decades to reflect women who feel their identity is not fully covered by the term "bisexual" or "lesbian." The term "bi lesbian" may be used by someone who is primarily attracted to women but feels their occasional attraction to men is relevant to their identity, as they have experienced both lesbophobia and biphobia. The term may also be relevant to some femme non-binary people. The term is often rejected by those concerned with policing queer language, some of whom feel that the terms "bisexual" or "lesbian" are somehow undermined by the existence of bi lesbians.
"A person who identifies as bi lesbian isn't going to stop feeling that way just because some people are unduly skeptical of LGBTQ people using unfamiliar terms."
Bi lesbian - slang
A woman or woman-aligned person who chooses to reclaim the lesbian label due to bisexual women being excluded from the lesbian community in the 1970s by TERF groups. This can also describe someone who have a very low attraction to men, or someone who puts an emphasis on their attraction to women/women-aligned people.
Amanda: I am a bi lesbian, which means that to me, my attraction to women is more present to my attraction to men.
Mary: I am a bi lesbian due to me being excluded from spaces because of my attraction to multiple genders by TERFs.
Bi lesbian
A person who uses both the terms bisexual and lesbian for a number of reasons, such as:
1. Having a complicated relationship with sexuality, being attracted to men and women, however having a stronger or more emphasized attraction to women that feels important.
2. Reclaiming the original definition of lesbian, simply meaning "queer attraction to women", since the current definition of lesbian as known today was largely made popular by radical feminists and lesbian separatists, who described bisexual women as "sleeping with the enemy", and thus denying their right to use the term lesbian itself.
3. A lesbian who would consider their attraction to nonbinary people and lesbians bisexual.
4. A lesbian who is attracted to women and men, but exclusively fictional men.
There are a number of other reasons why someone would want to use the term bisexual lesbian to describe their attraction, and many historical sources are often cited as evidence to bisexual lesbians being a term that has always existed, many of which are compiled in bi-lesbian.carrd.co.
Person 1: I identify as a bi lesbian.
Person 2: Really? Isn't that contradictory or invalid to what lesbianism is?
Person 3: Of course not. Queer people should not have to hold themselves by the standard of whether they're "valid" or not. It is the act of free self expression itself that makes us queer.
Bi lesbian
An abbreviation for biromantic lesbians.
A biromantic lesbian is a woman or an enby pal that feels sexual attraction to only women but experiences romantic attraction to one or more genders.

Bi lesbian

All queer identities are valid.
Cori is a bi lesbian that is attracted to men, but Sara IDs as a bi lesbian and is not.
