A '''male lesbian''' is a cis male (often a [[love-shyness|love-shy]]) who thinks that they are, ''mentally'', closer to a lesbian than a heterosexual male.<ref>http://www.angelfire.com/ab6/polepino/Chapter05/Malelesbian.html</ref> They may think this because they have an attraction to lesbians that goes beyond the attraction to lesbians heterosexual men have,<ref>https://lgbtrc.usc.edu/files/2015/05/LGBT-Terminology.pdf</ref> and/or because they think their baseline mental state is particularly non-masculine. Unlike transsexuals, they do not think they are fully a woman, nor do they want to gender transition or dress-up as women. In other words, they do not have body dysmorphia, although some may fantasize about being born a woman. | A '''male lesbian''' is a cis male (often a [[love-shyness|love-shy]]) who thinks that they are, ''mentally'', closer to a lesbian than a heterosexual male.<ref>http://www.angelfire.com/ab6/polepino/Chapter05/Malelesbian.html</ref> They may think this because they have an attraction to lesbians that goes beyond the attraction to lesbians heterosexual men have,<ref>https://lgbtrc.usc.edu/files/2015/05/LGBT-Terminology.pdf</ref> and/or because they think their baseline mental state is particularly non-masculine.

Various 19th century French authors showed lesbian tendencies such as Jules Michelet. In the sense that the French Michelet wrote for example, male lesbianism lacks penetrative fantasies, instead opting for ahesive fantasies.<ref>https://muse.jhu.edu/article/12173</ref> This likely applies to most male lesbians. | Various 19th century French authors showed lesbian tendencies such as Jules Michelet.
