Byke: a slang adopted by some bi-dykes and bi lesbians, however some use this as its own word separated from both.

My family when I be a bit butch and bisexual:

Hey there!

Labels like butch and femme are an important part of lesbian history and culture! It’s totally okay for you to want to reclaim one of them, and more than okay it is really something to be proud of, as they are part of who lesbians are as a community.

Okay, so, “dyke” refers to lesbians in general, though. It originated as a slur which is thrown at all lesbians, butch or femme or neither. Since it is a slur used against lesbians, all lesbians can reclaim it. 

Now, butch lesbians are indeed more masculine women, who tend to wear typically masculine clothes and things like that. Femme lesbians are more typically feminine. Butch and femme are really just terms lesbians use to describe themselves, to represent their dynamics and identities.

It sounds to me like you’re a butch! Yay! Own it, be proud of it! You can also call yourself a “butch dyke” if you so desire. Just realize not all lesbians chose to reclaim “dyke”, and since it is a slur you should not call other lesbians that without their consent. 

I guess “dyke” is used mostly against masculine lesbians, but it is a slur for lesbians in general, yeah. 

And it’s no problem, sweetie! Glad I could help you! Have an amazing day yourself!
