    Labels are tricky. I don't generally connect with people who cling to stereotypes and use labels to bolster their egos... and yet I can see how they are helpful in simply defining (and re-defining) who we are! Especially in such a diverse community when all of us LGBTQ tend to be lumped together by our hetero-normative society.

    I definitely feel comfortable as a woman, and yet also have a sense that there are elements of both the masculine and feminine within...

    I describe myself as a lesbian, for that to me resonates with my past, present, and future inclinations (with as much certainty as one can have).

    I am neither butch nor femme... I do find the term "Chapstick Lesbian" endearing, so I might toss that one in the mix as well! My personality is soft and quirky, but perhaps I have a slight lean to the masculine too...

    That is me!

    Queer femme. Own it, love it, it's really important to me - as much to identify what I'm not as what I am.

    Queer feels more inclusive. My friends always used to joke that I was a rubbish lesbian - I'm so tied up in the butch-femme dynamic that I can't really class myself as a lesbian.... and don't want to.

    Femme because I am a femme. :)

    I consider myself mostly lesbian. It's been a long, long time since I was interested in a guy that wasn't Hugh Jackman haha

    I tend to be more femme - I love to embrace my femininity and I prefer women who do as well. Though, an extremely attractive boi/butch could get it too haha

    I like to consider myself homoflexible. For the most part I'm into girls, but I don't count out the possibility of a guy. That possibility seems remote enough though that to people outside of the LGBT community, I usually just call myself a lesbian.

    I am/identify as a cisgender pansexual female. I was born female and identify as a female, and I am pansexual.
