What exactly is a dyke, and how are dykes... →
genderqueer:
(Question asked anonymously to Enoch. This is hir answer.)
“Well, I can’t tell you exactly what a dyke is because it’s an identity like any other, and it’s about a personal feeling that a label applies to you. I used to think dyke was a look, a style of dress, and that only lesbians could be dykes. I don’t think that anymore.
