You know exactly what you're doing. You're deliberately trying to be offensive. You know I consider the term "dyke" to be the equivalent of "******" to an African American.
I'm not a "bull dyke". Neither my wife, nor I, is "butch" or a "bull dyke". Are you the kind of person that calls African Americans, "*******", Jews, "kykes", gay men, "faggots" or "fudge packers"?
**** you. The term, "dyke" is a slur that is usually thrown at lesbians by so bigot along with violence.
I prefer the term, "woman-loving-woman". It's the term, we lesbians, have given ourselves.
Please do not call lesbians, "dykes".
84.3 percent of LGBT youth surveyed reported hearing homophobic remarks, such as "******" or "dyke," frequently or often. It seems that for quite a long time, "******" has been the slur of choice for people wishing to insult or harass gay men, men they perceive to be gay, or men they simply wish to humiliate regardless of their targets sexual orientation. Similarly, "dyke" has been used to target lesbian women, women perceived to be lesbian, or, in a common scenario, women refusing, for whatever reason, the sexual advances of men.
