==History==
The Lith- prefix has been credited to Ian of Tumblr blog [https://stopanthropomorphizingme.tumblr.com StopAnthropomorphizingMe] for its partner (Lithromantic) and himself (Lithsexual).<ref name="Ian">[https://stopanthropomorphizingme.tumblr.com/post/86509419088/cisphobeofficial-stopanthropomorphizingme The coiner of LithsexualLith- explaining it was the coiner, and its opinion of the claim that the term is "Apropriating lesbian culture."]</ref>
Due to a claim of appropriating [[lesbianLesbian]] culture, some people have attempted to replace the term LithsexualLith with AkoisexualAkoine/Akoi, an alternate nameprefix coined by CisphobeOfficial on May 18, 2014.<ref>[https://cisphobeofficial.tumblr.com/post/86169342734/so-since-lith-is-potentially-appropriative-of The coining of AkoinesexualAkoine]</ref> This is due to the fact that ''Lithos'', the word LithsexualLithromantic comes from, means "stone". In the lesbian community a stone lesbian is a lesbian who is okay with being the giver of sex acts, but not with being the receiver of sex acts. Because of that "lithsexual" could potentially be interpreted as being related to this term. Ian have talked about the claims and refuted it, explaining Lith- and stone are different, similar but not the same. How it is not appropriation when it's a new term that just draws on a similar one.<ref name="Ian" />

Ian also talked about how stones are not even all women and/or Lesbians, when historically [[Transmasc|transmasculine]] people and Lesbians have blurred the lines for decades.<ref>[https://stopanthropomorphizingme.tumblr.com/post/86509419088/cisphobeofficial-stopanthropomorphizingme Ian (StopAnthropomorphizingMe) and CisphobeOfficial]</ref>
There has not been any consensus about the term, both in the [[AsexualAspec|A-spec]] and Lesbian community. There is no apparently evidence that the specific term "Lithsexual" or "Lithosexual" was ever commonly used by Lesbians. Currently Lithsexual, Lithosexual, and Akoisexual are used interchangeably.
