mspec = multisexual spectrum: "attracted to multiple genders". e.g. bisexual, pansexual, etc.
an mspec
lesbian is someone who is mspec AND feels their sapphic attraction is especially important, enough that the term '
lesbian' feels right alongside another term.
it's arguably similar to the term 'sapphic', covering wlw who are also attracted to other genders.
'mspec
lesbian' does NOT BY DEFAULT mean "lesbian who is attracted to
men", as mspec identities can encompass attraction to any combination of gender identities, which may or may not include men.
it's a simple way of expressing being mspec while also focusing on the sapphic part of one's identity.
"I'm an mspec
lesbian! I'm a bisexual girl who likes girls and enbies, but the
lesbian part of my identity is very important to me. So, that's why I call myself a bi
lesbian."
