All of these are negative and derogatory terms used to describe lesbians and its been going on for a hell of a long time. I hate all these terms, but I am not offended by them. Truth be told, we (gay people) could be doing a hell of a lot worse...At least homosexuality isnt still considered a mental disorder anymoreUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08991941863351703588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436604361793179169.post-57013594945801454762009-01-28T10:06:00.000-08:002009-01-28T10:06:00.000-08:00Well I am one of those who has claimed the word as...Well I am one of those who has claimed the word as my own. I do feel that by using it I take the negativity out of it. That is not to say that I don' want to slap certain people when they use it.

Personally, I don't refer to myself as any of those names anyway. People are going to keep saying it as long as other people don't take offense of it.<BR/><BR/>P.S.

It's crazy! lol <BR/><BR/>Sabrae- I had a straight friend of mine who was jus running off at the mouth, talking about some random topic or another, and she said something about having a dyke friend and i was like whoooa. What!?? Who is your dyke friend? And she was talking about me! lolll. I had to straighten that up real quick. Other than that slight mishap, i've never been called one either.Chanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877058968113836520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436604361793179169.post-90572215178743461592009-01-09T18:11:00.000-08:002009-01-09T18:11:00.000-08:00I've never really thought of the term to much..

There are several hundreds, probably thousands of women who use it interchangeably with the word 'lesbian', but personally I find it just as offense as you. The word has taken on somewhat of a positive and powerful connotation just as the words 'nigga' and 'gay'. So many people use the statement "that's so gay" and I loathe it just as much as I loathe the term 'dyke'. When are people ever gonna learn how much a single word can stir so many negative emotions and simply stop the madness??? Great points!<BR/><BR/>~Ray~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
