Dykes. Dykes don’t give up.
We are loyalty, commitment,
acts of service, follow through,
and attention to detail.
Femmes can be dykes.
Butches are commonly dykes.
Transmen and transwomen are dykes too.
We’re not like straight women,
or bi women, or queer women.
Dykes are patient.
Dykes are open and transparent.
Some dykes might be polyamorous,
but they’re open and honest about
who they love
and what they do with people.
You will almost always know how a
dyke thinks or feels about something.
Dykes are straight shooters.
Dykes speak truth to power if and
when needed.
Dykes are anti-authoritarian and
anti-hierarchal.
Dykes don’t live in fear.
Dykes are kind and celebrate kindness.
Dykes live in light and they believe in
bringing that light to others.
Dykes actually mix well with all
types of people (except for bigots).
Dykes have tended to the trauma of
patriarchy, worked out a lot of stuff
on the path to liberation, and dykes
are here… to set the world free.
