Meanings
-
(qualifier:LGBTQ slang) A bisexual woman.
Why do I wear a biker jacket? I like making people scared of me. I get treated better by the servers in the coffeehouses in the gaybourhood. Not to mention getting looked at by the dykes/bykes. :) Without the jacket, I get pushed around more on the subway, people don't get out of my way on crowded sidewalks, and men try to intimidate me -- I'm a wee femmy thing, most of the time.
