Lesbian gender labels (i.e., butch, soft butch, butch/femme, femme, and high femme) have set the stage for assumptions about lesbian attractions to sexual behaviors. This study explored the intersection of lesbian gender labels and attraction to sexual behaviors in 214 lesbian-identified women. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 69 with 48% being women of color. Contrary to stereotypes about sexual behavior in the lesbian community, very few differences emerged in regard to lesbian gender label. Overall, results do not support stereotypes about lesbian gender labels and suggest that behaviors in the lesbian community are fluid across labels.
女同性恋性别标签（即，阳刚女同性恋者、温柔阳刚女同性恋者、阳刚女同性恋者/阴柔女同性恋者、阴柔女同性恋者和高级阴柔女同性恋者）为关于女同性恋者对性行为的吸引力的假设奠定了基础。本研究探讨了214名自我认同为女同性恋的女性中女同性恋性别标签与对性行为的吸引力之间的交叉关系。参与者年龄在18岁至69岁之间，其中48%为有色人种女性。与女同性恋群体中性行为的刻板印象相反，在女同性恋性别标签方面几乎没有出现差异。总体而言，研究结果不支持关于女同性恋性别标签的刻板印象，并表明女同性恋群体中的行为在不同标签之间是灵活多变的。
