How to sign “Lesbians” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Lesbians” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Form an "L" handshape with your dominant hand, extending your thumb and index finger.
- Place the "L" handshape against your chin with the index finger touching the chin.
- Bounce the hand gently on your chin two times while keeping the "L" handshape firm.
- Keep your palm angled inward toward your face throughout the two bounces.
