This interview study examined lesbians' thoughts about and experiences of beauty and female physical attractiveness. The participants were eight white lesbians between the ages of 30 and 40 living in the San Francisco Bay Area. The interview first asked participants about physical attractiveness and beauty in the culture at large. Next, participants described their thoughts and feelings (a) when looking at women who are potential romantic or sexual partners, and (b) when looking at women in general. Finally, participants talked about their own physical appearance. All participants felt that beauty and female physical attractiveness are important and that lesbians do and should have standards of beauty and female physical attractiveness that are different from the standards held by other groups. Every participant felt she looked lesbian or queer, and they all liked the way they looked even though they each had things about their appearance they wished they could change. All participants thought there is no one way that a lesbian should look. Half felt their looks fit a "type"---of these, two described themselves as femme, two as butch. Seven believed there is "gaydar," a nonverbal way of finding lesbians based on subtle physical indicators. Every participant said that she had been discriminated against or that people have made assumptions about her based on her physical appearance. Five women felt that their ideas about physical attractiveness had changed over time with two reporting the changes happened after they came out. The findings of this research help to deconstruct the dominant culture's definition and standard of beauty, which disregards lesbian expression and experience, while providing an increased understanding of lesbians' broader definition of female physical attractiveness both within their community and in the larger culture. In light of these findings, clinicians will be better able to validate lesbian experience, support lesbian identity development, and help resolve internalized homophobia, while promoting increased self-esteem and self-efficacy for their lesbian patients. This study helps clinicians foster an appreciation of the political struggle that lesbians face while trying to make meaning in a heterosexist and misogynistic society.
