This is a lesbian owned bed and breakfast located off the San Marcos River, just outside of Austin. www.riverbarnsuites.com. The owner has kayaks for use and takes you on kayak rides down the river if the river is up enough. IT's a really nice place.

Oh, I can't believe that I am so late to the thread. Yes, I'm another proud lesbian/dyke!
I love, love, love this thread!!! |
Welcome purepisces. We left the light on for ya :)

Jess and I have been looking at lesbianesque vacations. I think we have decided to attend Women's Week in Ptown. I must admit, I have never been to Ptown - ya'll don't go revoking my dyke card now, yahear?
In looking for accomodations, we found http://womeninnkeepers.com/, all lesbian/dyke owned B&Bs. We also found http://pearlsrainbow.com/ in Key West. I'm not up for driving that far and flying these days, well, I have privacy issues with the TSA and their practices and have made the decision I will only fly in a have-to situation. We have a mini vacation coming up in a couple of weeks with a trip back to Nashville to see my folks - I don't really think of it as a vacation when you have to endure the whole famn damily. LOL |
Don't feel bad, the first time I've been to Ptown was a couple of years ago. Mare and I decided on a whim to take a road trip and that's where we ended up.

Hell I need an EXTENDED STAY on Vacation. I am so burnt out it's not even August yet. LOL

new here, but love seeing this thread! I've been a proud dyke for most of my adult/out life. I refer to myself that way even. I feel like it empowers me to show that a nice woman, who looks like society's stereotype of "trouble" in my leather jacket, wallet chain, baby-face with short hair, and tatts doesn't give a rip when someone calls me a dyke. I usually just say, "It's Mr. Dyke. Get it right." and keep walking.
Or I just look at them and say, "Boo!" Viva la Dyke:) |
Welcome rawk! Always nice to see a new face. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.

I am learning about the term "dyke"
I too have had run ins with people calling me dyke in a derogatory way. I also believe demographics can play a roll in the use of the term.
dyke where I live also denoted ignorrance...e.g. "stupid dyke" and it usually came from a (drunkin')male person. it is /was a put down. now a days when I hear dyke its can be a negative term from a homosexual. dykes are considered by some of my friends as "mean, snotty,big mouths,(sometimes softball types)types" that harass the rest of the homosexuals in the bar, club Don't put what I say as being my gospel PLEASE!! don't do that. I have yet to define myself in any such definite term and I admire the people who know themselves as well as they do (I'll wish to have that same type of confidence about myself one day) I'm sticking with butch for now because I certainly am not feminine. Terminology to me evolves along with the human condition after all we invented the terms and can reinvent them as well Metro, bulldog and the rest..... I always enjoy the thoughts you put out there Thanks for the thread |
dykes and lesbians to watch out for
I am really glad that this page got started. How do identify....as a lesbian and a soft butch one. I have a hard time w/ the terms Dyke and w/ Queer. Mainly because that is not how I see myself. I think w/ the term Dyke, because it has been used for many years as a way of putting us down. As for Queer I know that it is has several connotations, but for me I feel that I don't fit the dictionary definition.
I don't care for labels...I am just me. I am a 41 soft butch lesbian who loves other soft butch women. NOW I just need to find one near me. |
I'm good with dyke, queer, butch.... Yet, there are times on the site (and the old one) that I too, just get tired of our preoccupation with labels overall. I want to know about the person, not a label.
It is really interesting to see how different age groups, locations, gender identifications and just personal history differ with these terms. But, this is exactly why looking at the individual and what they have experienced is much more valuable than the labels attached to them. I am mainly a lesbian when I do look at my core. |
Oh my giddy aunt! I love you lot, and this site, you challenge me to think and question all sorts about myself and learn about how other folks experience the world too.
I've always considered myself a third gender; I happily id'd as Dyke and Queer for donkeys years; much later in life I found that Genderqueer was an empowering label for me; I prefer masculine pronouns for myself; I'm very happy to be a Genderqueer Dyke. Whenever I've been called "dyke" as an epithet (it's a very rare occurrence for those that call other folks names generally assume I'm a fella until I open my mouth and speak) I usually commend them on their accurate powers of observation - one just has to encourage the less fortunate when they get something right! :winky: My girl is a Queer Femme but also happy to id as a Dyke. I have many friends who refuse to claim the label Dyke or Queer, they're Lesbian or Gay. I struggle with 'gay' I'm definitely not 'gay', I'm far too grumpy to ever be described thus :cheesy: |
Happy Friday Dykes, Lesbians and Friends. It's been a little quiet in the Lesbian Zone lately. Hopefully that's because everyone is enjoying their summer! ;) Welcome to rawk, naturlover_52, Incubus and anyone else new to the thread that I missed.
