PURPOSE: The views of butch- and femme-identified lesbians toward their own breasts, breast cancer, breast cancer screenings, and their behavior and intentions toward breast health care were examined and compared in this study.
METHODS: A total of 208 Taiwanese lesbians (134 butch-identified lesbians and 78 femme-identified lesbians) completed an online survey.
RESULTS: Butch-identified lesbians were more likely to hold negative views regarding their own breasts, which were found to be significantly and negatively associated with their actions in performing breast self-examinations when compared with femme-identified lesbians.
CONCLUSIONS: Healthcare providers should be aware of and provide culturally competent care to lesbians with different identities.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The results can be employed as evidence for promoting lesbians' breast health, particularly butch-identified lesbians. Healthcare providers should provide a supportive environment in order to promote a positive body image and improve breast health among lesbians.
