Glad I’m not the only one who thinks “dyke” is not exclusive to lesbians but applies to all women-loving women. I got five or six 0-star ratings on AfterEllen for expressing that.
I’ve never ventured over to the aftellen forums, but I love the word dyke. to me, it means a strong, confident lady-lovin’ lady, regardless of other labels…also, this comic changed my life in terms of stopping my own internalized bi-phobia: http://liliane.comicgenesis.com/
or, you know, whatever (non)label you wish to use.

I hate afterellen forums, it’s full of a lot of angry people for some reason.
Yeah, I agree – and I don’t understand why. But the biphobia in particular has been out of control lately.
