text: what is lesbein? what is the defination of lesbien.i mean what is lesbein. women who are atrracted to women. it comes from greek. a young lady teacher (dont remmember her name) would right poems about her girl students. she either was really happy with them.... or she was just that kind of girl who liked girls. so they started calling people like her by her name (ex: stacyians). her name was not stacy but again i dont remmember her name. eventually they started to call people like her on the island she lived. it was called lesbo. hence the name lesbian.
