Apparently there is a new way to sign this (in ASL), with the hand position moved to the side so the index finger taps the chin, because the old version was similar to "vagina".
However, not everybody is on board with the change. According to the WaPo: 'But for other Deaf lesbian women, the older sign is a source of pride.
The original sign “shows that I’m proud of who I am,” she said. “Moving it to the side feels like you’re trying to obscure the sign slightly or make it seem more civil.”' #asl
