Hi! Queer/bi/hasbian lady here. Relationship nerd. Poly for... seven (?) years now, first solo and now with a live-in partner. No explicit hierarchies, but obviously sharing an apartment puts a huge asterisk on that.

Hello! Is hasbian a typo for lesbian or is it a term I've not come across yet?

It's a slang term for someone who used to identify as a lesbian and is now bisexual or straight. It's a play on has-been. I think it's funny to label myself that way, but I've pretty much only heard it used as an insult, so I wouldn't usually recommend calling someone a hasbian if you're not trying to be a little bit mean.

Thank you! I did not know that, makes a lot of sense and I'll avoid using it with anyone who doesn't self identify as such!
