Morphology
lesbionic + identity
The noun 'identity' is fully compositional (X identity = the identity of X), and the initial element 'lesbionic' transparently evokes 'lesbian' for most learners, so a reader can infer the phrase refers to a lesbian identity. However, 'lesbionic' is a non‑standard/nonce form with an unclear suffix and possible additional connotations (e.g., stylistic or metaphorical), so the precise nuance is not fully predictable without exposure. Because the core referent is guessable but the adjective is unconventional, the expression is only partially transparent.
Etymology
The phrase lesbionic identity mixes lesbian and bionic, giving a simple image: like someone with a bionic arm, it feels strong and visible. So it is used to mean 'identifying as a lesbian' with a sense of pride and strength.
