What characterizes a lesbian individual?

Attraction to male-identified individuals
Attraction to female-identified individuals
Attraction to all genders
Lack of sexual attraction

The correct answer is: Attraction to female-identified individuals

A lesbian individual is characterized by their romantic and sexual attraction to female-identified individuals. This definition encompasses the emotional and physical attraction that lesbian individuals feel towards women, solidifying their identity within the broader spectrum of sexual orientations. Understanding this concept is crucial in recognizing the diversity of sexual identities and orientations. The other choices contrast with this definition; attraction to male-identified individuals would describe heterosexual individuals, while attraction to all genders is indicative of a pansexual orientation. A lack of sexual attraction describes asexuality, which is distinct from being a lesbian. Recognizing these differences helps in understanding the various nuances of sexual orientation.
