Leathergirl

A leathergirl refers to a woman who identifies with and participates in the leather/BDSM subculture. This person is often queer but not exclusively, and is usually seeking a paternal/maternal figure. ### Origins of the Term The term “leathergirl” grew out of the leather scene’s expansion in the late 1970s and early 1980s when queer women began forming their own leather collectives. ### Related Roles - Girl - Leatherman - Leatherwoman - Leatherperson - Leather Daddy - Leather Dyke - Leather Mommy - Leather Top - Leather bottom - Leather Slut - Leatherboy - Leatherboi - Leather pony - Leather Dog - Leather pup - Leather Cat - Leather
