If you say "i hate homophobes/transphobes" but then you hate on queer people who's labels "don't make sense" or who's labels are "problematic" to you.... guess what! You are the homophobe/transphobe! Congrats!!

bi lesbian because I prefer dating women over men and saying lesbian when asked about my preferences because it is easier to explain my attraction to women that way. bi lesbian because men are cool and awesome and I'm not opposed to dating one but liking girls is more relevant to my identity. bi lesbian because I'm bi but my attraction to women is the highlight. bi lesbian because I'm a raging dyke. bi lesbian because I'm more comfortable in lesbian spaces yet I'm still proudly bi. bi lesbian because I've only gotten crushes on women or people who thought they were women at the time. bi lesbian because I like men while being a dyke. bi lesbian because saying lesbian is easier than saying bi dyke. bi lesbian because I LOVE genderfucky people. bi lesbian because I also like genderqueer non women.
I'm bi, aspec and a lesbian.
I'm a dyke, a torta (south american spanish for lesbian/dyke, technically a slur) even.
I love women.

for me, 'butch' is a personal identity and 'dyke' is a political identity. i don't feel like explaining it any further than that. it just feels right. ⚢♡

Who wants to see some neat stuff I found poking around the Bi Women Quarterly archives
"Bistory at the Lesbian Herstory Archives"
"I talked with Joan about the principles behind the LHA and her vision of its future. She said that the LHA is dedicated first and foremost to being a lesbian space.
When I asked her what she meant by "lesbian" she offered "any woman who has at some time in her life loved another woman" She also remarked that she would rather err on theside of inclusivity than be too exclusive, which explains the large collection of materials relevant to both lesbians and gay men(such as the Gay Community News), feminist materials, and a small but growing collection of materials on bisexuality. For Joan, the mission of the LHA is "to preserve the multiplicity of lesbian presentations." There is something of interest here for any woman who identifies herself as a dyke, a feminist, a mother, a butch or a femme, a prostitute, a worker in a traditional or a non-traditional occupation, a practitioner of S&M, a woman of color, a Jew, a witch, a teenager or an olderwoman, a closeted woman or an activist, a bisexual, an artist, and the list goes on. The sheer amount and variety of the stuff is testimony to the diversity of the lesbian experience and the vitality of lesbian communities"
A poem "Here I Am" by latina bi dyke Laura Perez
"we dream a world
which bridges the barriers,
i, this
bi-coastal, bisexual
dyke of color
have living proof
the distance is
not so great"
Here's the whole thing go check it out
I also found a bi femme and trans lesbian butch couple- and my freakin heart I wish them the most wonderful things wherever they ended up in life
"How I Learned to Love My Femme Self, Butch Dykes, and Transgender Warriors" by Liz Nania
"Laurie honored my bisexuality and I honored her proud trans butchness. We often felt like poster girls for Bi-Trans Unity. She stood up for me to her separatist-lesbian friends who were disapproving of her dating a bi woman; I stood up for her when I heard trans-phobic remarks- We both know bisexuals and transgendered people are truly natural allies and need to celebrate and further develop our bonds i the community"
And here's a lesbian identified bisexual talking about assumptions
"Dont Assume Anything" by Amy Wyeth.
"They say, "Don't Assume Anything" and "Question Au- thority." No one, including gays, bis and hetero- sexuals, should assume anything about someone's sexual preference based only on the way that person looks. Everyone should question the notions defined or perpetuated by those in positions of authority (e.g. the media, certain powerful icons/members of gay culture, and cer- tain dangerous bigots) as to what a lesbian or bisexual woman looks like. Not all of us feel we are well represented by such narrow definitions."
Just goes to show how timeless the bi witticism of Assume Nothing! really is. I highly recommend just perusing through the archives or even the current isues there's loads of interesting history
