	'''Lesbian-identified''' is a term used to describe the perception of an individual that they are, in whole or in part, a [[lesbian]].

	== Overview ==

	Because of the diversity of experiences of individuals who self-identify as lesbian, the term encompasses a wide range of individual life histories, as well as genders. The term operates within a complex area of social interaction; in the fields of [[Sociology]], [[gender studies]] and [[feminism]], [[sexual identity]], [[gender identity]], [[gender role]] and [[sexual preference]] may be referred to under the catch-all term ''gender''.

	[[Sexual identity]] is a person's own sense of identification as a lesbian. However, [[self concept]] or self identity is also a process in which a person understands how others perceive them. To this extent, understanding sexual identity is to a certain extent dependent on interaction with others.

	The term is a [[Psychology\|psychological]] association, and thus distinct from [[Physiology\|physiological]] and [[Sociology\|sociological]] aspects of [[gender]].

	== Other identifications in conjunction with lesbian identification ==

	As well as female-bodied or [[transsexual]] women who are exclusively [[homosexual]], the term '''lesbian-identified''' may encompass gynephile [[bisexuality\|bisexual]] or [[Pansexuality\|pansexual]] [[transwoman\|trans women]], or female-bodied [[bisexuality\|bisexual]] or [[Pansexuality\|pansexual]] women, a group which includes some (but not all) and [[transman\|trans men]] of various sexual orientations.

	Persons who are lesbian-identified and male-bodied, identify themselves as homosexual women who were born with a male body. They may or may not seek gender reassignment surgery.

	The term may apply to male-bodied [[Cross-dressing\|cross-dressers]]. However, this assessment is not widely used in the lesbian community.

	Self-identification does not always equate to acceptance. Often bisexual and especially trans women have felt somewhat marginalized from some facets of the lesbian community. Other lesbian groups, however, have fully accepted and welcomed them. The inclusion of lesbian-identified trans men within lesbian communities is sometimes called into question, especially when lesbian-identified trans women are excluded, for the reason that this practice implies the trans men are seen as still just women, while the trans women are not seen as women. This is like saying that gender identities contrary to birth-assigned genders are not accepted as legitimate.<ref>[[Julia Serano]], [http://www.alternet.org/reproductivejustice/93826/rethinking_sexism%3A_how_trans_women_challenge_feminism/?page=entire "Rethinking Sexism: How Trans Women Challenge Feminism"], AlterNet, August 5, 2008.</ref>

	== Psychology and social sciences ==
	During the 1950s and '60s, psychologists began studying [[homosexuality]]. At the time, it was viewed as a mental disorder. The [[American Psychiatric Association]] (APA) removed homosexuality as a disorder from the ''Sexual Deviancy'' section of the [[Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders]], the DSM-II, in 1973.<ref name="aparecalling">{{citation \|title=Recalling APA's Historic Step \|url=http://www.psych.org/pnews/00-09-01/recalling.html \|first=Alfred M \|last=Freedman \|periodical=APA News \|date=[[2000-09-01]] \|accessdate=[[2007-05-04]]}}</ref>
