What do we mean by dyke?

Dyke identity represents the reclaiming of a term historically used to oppress masculine presenting women and/or lesbians, or women/womyn/womxn attracted to other women/womyn/womxn. The term Dyke now encompasses a multitude of sexual orientations and gender identities including, but not limited to the following: queer, lesbian, bisexual, trans* and cisgender women/womyn/womxn, and gender non-binary folx. For some, Dyke identity speaks to one’s romantic and/or sexual attractions and behaviors and for others it also takes on a more political meaning. Most importantly, it‘s about how the individual identifies.
