Morphology
proud + wasbian
The phrase is compositionally built: 'proud' simply modifies the noun 'wasbian', and the noun itself is transparently analyzable as 'was' + 'lesbian' meaning a former lesbian. If a B1 learner knows the constituent meanings (including the nonce/coinage 'wasbian' as 'former lesbian'), the overall meaning ('a wasbian who is proud') is directly derivable.
Etymology
Proud wasbian comes from mixing was and lesbian, so it literally points to 'was a lesbian'. Imagine a woman smiling and openly saying she used to be a lesbian; that image explains why the phrase means a woman who openly identifies as a former lesbian.
