SAPPHIC Definition: Sapphic, also known as woman loving woman (WLW), girls loving girls (GLG), LMQ (Lesbian, M-spec, Queer), QLW/WLQ (queer loving women or women-loving queer), difemina, or sapphist, refers to a woman or genderqueer/non-binary individual who is attracted at least to women/enbys, exclusively or not. They may or may not be attracted to other genders as well. This attraction does not need to be exclusive, as the label is used as a way to unify all women or women-aligned individuals who love other women such as lesbians, pluralian women/enbies (including those who are bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, queer, and other m-spec women/enbys), femaric a-spec women/enbies, promoting solidarity among women/enbys of all identities who are attracted to other women/enbys. The term can be used as a modifier combined with other identities to show that one emphasizes or prioritizes their attraction to and relationships with other women/enbys. It may also be used as an identity on its own, and may be found particularly useful for individuals who know they are attracted to women/enbys but may be uncertain if they are attracted to other genders. It can also be used to describe a relationship between two women. It can be used as the non-exclusive counterpart to lesbian. Lesbian and sapphic are the woman-loving-woman counterparts to faunic and daunic, which are non-men-loving-non-men.
