Ian Harvie, the first female-to-male trans person to hit the comedy circuit, has no plans of dropping "dyke" from his litany of identity tags.

"I may not appear as a dyke to the world, but I definitely feel that that is part of my history, and I'm not giving up my history," Harvie says.

But the "male" tag doesn't work for him.

"I'm a man but I'm not necessarily male," Harvie says.
