== History ==<br />
The term has an unknown coining date, however it has existed in lesbian communities as early as 1997, as seen in Sally Munt's book ''Butch/Femme: Inside Lesbian Gender (Lesbian & Gay Studies)'':<br />
<br />
"Hausman is saying that the true disruption of [[gender]] lies not in some free-play of signification, a proliferation of genders, some utopian world populated by (in Halberstam's words) 'guys with pussies, dykes with dicks, queer butches, aggressive [[Femme|femmes]], [[Trans Man|F2Ms]], lesbians who like men, daddy boys, gender queens, drag kings, pomo afro homos, bulldaggers, women who fuck boys, women who fuck like boys, dyke mommies, [[transsexual]] lesbians, male lesbians'. For Judith, all this gender freedom on the frontiers brings forth the 'more general fragmentation of the concept of sexual identity' - that's why she thinks - or at least thought, because I've heard she's publishing again on the topic - we're all transsexuals."<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20240820002430/https://lesboys.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery26/7cbf7da0_original.jpg?v=dc868dfb</ref><br />
<br />
Leslie Feinberg, the author of the book Stone Butch Blues, also published many books and papers on transmasc lesbians. In hir book ''Transgender Warriors: Making History from Joan of Arc to Dennis Rodman'', zie states:<br />
<br />
"And our female-to-male transsexual brothers have a right to feel welcome at women's movement events or lesbian bars. However, that shouldn't feed into the misconception that all female-to-male transsexuals were butches who just couldn't deal with their oppression as lesbians. If that were true, then why does a large percentage of post-transition transsexual men identify as gay and bisexual, which may have placed them in a heterosexual or bisexual status before their transition? There are transsexual men who did help build the women's and lesbian communities, and still have a large base of friends there. They should enjoy the support of women on their journey. Doesn't everyone want their friends around them at a time of great change? And women could learn a great deal about what it means to be a man or a woman from sharing the lessons of transition."<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20240820003647/https://lesboys.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery11/9c2dc757_original.jpg?v=dc868dfb</ref> <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20240820003748/https://lesboys.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery11/7b657cc2_original.jpg?v=dc868dfb</ref><br />
<br />
In ''Transgender Butch'' in 1998, J Halberstam states:<br />
<br />
"However, these transsexual men do articulate one very important line of affiliation between transsexualities and lesbian identities. Many transsexual men successfully identify as butch in a queer female community before they decide to transition. Once they have transitioned, many transsexual men want to maintain their ties to their queer lesbian communities."<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20240820003316/https://lesboys.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery25/9c516c7a_original.jpg?v=dc868dfb</ref><br />
<br />
There have been many other books and papers published about transmasculine and male lesbians.<br />

The flag was created by Tumblr user beyond-mogai-pride-flags on December 20th, 2020. It is considered by most to be the official lesboy flag.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20210722080847/https://beyond-mogai-pride-flags.tumblr.com/post/638068368080076800/lesboy-pride-flag</ref> <br />
