Are there NO dykes in here?

Kinda...

I was born female and had the gender surgery last year.

BrandonLatham59. Congratulations on just being who you are. It's nice to meet you.

Does a transgender lesbian count?

Hi, Kristens. Absolutely. It's nice to meet you.

@SwitchableSusie A note here--many lesbians want to reclaim the term "dyke" and remove the derogatory connotation that it has in the same manner as many women want to eliminate the derogatory implication from the word "cunt."

I've mentioned elsewhere that as a boy I knew two words, "vagina" and "cunt" - the former was for medical use, the later was for things sexual. Cunt never meant "bitch" or to disparage. Don't know if was because "cunt" wasn't used like that back in the 1950's, or simply because I hadn't been exposed to it being used that way. Anyway, I love the word "cunt"

Dyke is an antiquated term that is not used with my friends. We enjoy each other's company and accept each other for being a person. That makes enjoying each other uncomplicated. No one has to put on a show. We can be ourselves with each other and that is why we enjoy ourselves as girls.

That there are even some women here makes this place exciting. Back in the day I had not idea that women were into enemas sexually. Oh, and speaking of dykes; how many men here feel more like they are lesbians? I'm one who does to some degree.

I can only say that I hope I will meet many lesbians here (or whatever they call themselves). though, it's incredible how inactive we are.

And about sex stuff- I'm not into enema as much i'm into ass play in general.

Yes, I will fill my profile soon, I just joined today, and Im so happy I found this place. 😃

Only dyke i know is a stone one

Awesome. there's like 2.5 lesbians and 1 bi girl here lol

.5 lesbian…?

Goldstar lesbian here 😃

You really are a gold star lesbian @Annie204 if you would invite a play doc to insert his penis into your virgin vagina. 😃 When can I book you in for an appointment?

.5 lesbian…?

it was supposed to be ironic (joke).

But, just reporting, I found myself one , (“98%” lesbian, quoting )

Wasamata with that term? I think it has a nice ring to it but what do I know, I'm just an old fart? I now know why they call us that too. I'm also a dirty old man and I love it.

Doesn't look like there's many lesbians out there!

I just joined and hope to see other lesbians with a medical fetish on here from Northern UK (Scotland and/or North West England).

I am a hetero male but one of my favorite enemates is a lesbian. We met through awkward circumstances at a hospital and have a great friendship where we “indulge” every two-three weeks for several years now. We masturbate in front of one another – while holding our enemas with a plug – but are both careful not to touch one another D.T. (down there). I have met her "significant other' and sometimes she comes to watch both halfs on the experience but isn't as attuned as the two of us are.

Dyke I guess I do guys but like the ladies most. I am feminin in my own mind. Others see me as a butch gear head nerd. I like to wander around naked and put my feet up on the table drink beer out of the bottle and burp. It just feels good to be me some days.

I am a lipstick lesbian.

I must be very sheltered or very private about my sexuality cause I had no idea how controversial the words are. At least for some people. So much aggression in some of these posts.

I still don’t know what I am or if I even want a word attached to me. I like girls & boys both, probably girls more lately. And I’m referring to ADULTS here, just so no one gets too upset 😉

I ticked the ‘bisexual’ box here out of convenience. It’s not a word that I say much if ever.

You just be yourself @GraceT . If someone doesn't like it they can bloody well get stuffed!

The friends you will have will be true friends.

Labeling or choosing the 'correct and acceptable' words has become a difficult task that requires walking over eggshells. However this will work itself out over time by itself, hopefully.

The thing is that in the past, in common everyday language, there were mostly negative and insulting words used to identify people who were different from the culturally prevailing sexual norms. Neutral and even endearing terms have only been chosen/invented and evolving to common usage since a few decades. So a linguistic consensus is still out.

English, I fear, is an easily changeable language from the bottom up and therefore subject to far more social influences (negative and positive) than many other languages. That is why so many English terms for sexual identity are used in other languages, because other languages don't have the mechanisms or historical background of doing so without a controlling (academic) hand from above. For instance in French and Dutch the term 'gay' is used as a neutral term or of acceptance because their native words for same-sex activity/identity are usually negatively loaded and disparaging.

So just use whatever you wish. English also has the benefit that many derogatory terms are, over time, adopted by the disparaged group and come to be used as a term of pride. Sort of sticking it to the linguistic bullies.

Many terms are either offensive or not-offensive depending on who or how they are used. "Dyke" for example, originated as a homophobic slur for masculine, butch, or androgynous girls or women, but the term dyke has been reappropriated by many lesbians to imply assertiveness and toughness.

Just enjoy being who you are - people are always foing to find ways to offend others - or be offended - by choice of words, pronouns etc. Seems to be getting more prevalent lately!
