EN: lesbian
A woman who loves women. It's the more formal term compared to 'tibo' or 'tomboy', which can sometimes be used playfully or, depending on tone, as a slur. Using 'lesbya' is often a more respectful and affirming choice, especially in formal discussions or within the LGBTQ+ community.
From Spanish 'lesbiana'.
While 'tomboy' is more common in colloquial speech, 'lesbya' is often preferred in formal or academic contexts and by some members of the community for its directness.
