Hello everyone.
As the thread title suggests, I consider myself a dyke... and the labels androgyne or boi tend to fit (but I don't identify as either... pretty much just a regular lesbian... even if I'm intersexed)
...I've been working on the first part of this (preceding the wikipedia definition) for quite a while...
I'm not (100%) female identified, but deffinately (outwardly) female bodied, and present as such. Being more female identified than male, I DO NOT prefer male pronouns. -- simplified explaination --
[[[ Boi ]]] (from handy dandy wikipedia)
[[ 1 ]] A younger person who looks and acts like a young, heterosexual male, possibly embodying stereotyped attributes towards casual sex and commitment in relationships, in contrast with the stereotype of the U-Haul lesbian.
Bois may not identify as butch, regarding butches as playing a more powerful or responsible role – the "man of the house" – while a boi is still in a freer, younger phase.
[[ 2 ]] Boi may also refer to a female-born or female-bodied person—sometimes transsexual, transgendered, or intersexed, sometimes not—that generally does not identify as, or only partially identifies as feminine, female, a girl, or a woman.
Some "bois" identify as one or more of these, but they almost always identify as lesbians, dykes, or queers.

Boi's are the sexiest kind of people. :-*

Stop it you two... I'm so confused about my sexuality at times like this.
Oh hi! You are a kinda-sorta female-identified androgynous person with a "male" name-- I am a kinda-sorta male-identified androgynous person with a "female" name! 8D *high fives* Nice to meetcha.

[[ EDIT ]] ---
FEMALE PRONOUNS PLEASE (( yes, I quietly say "meh" in the context of testosterone a little later on in this post... if you didn't notice that, you need to pay better attention ))
legally I have a female name actually, I just prefer Ryan... it's quite hard for me to explain online.
people that know me IRL are well aware of my mostly female identity, and FAR more aware that it's MOSTLY (and not 100% female)
... occasionally I even push the limit on a male-ish role or presentation (have gone as far as probably 65% male at least once... but am rarely more masculine than my default. By default I'm either neutral or female, hence the pronouns I prefer... male pronouns don't really offend me, I just try not to let people be in the habit of using them.)
have pondered the term "genderfluid" ...
PONDERED the term... usually I just consider myself a lesbian with frequent "very queer" days on which I end up challenging the gender lines with my role / presentation. (( so frequent, it's almost every day hehe... I'm physically gender variant to a degree I can't pull off "gender binary" ... even... err... even if taking
TESTOSTERONE would probably fix that... meh... NO WANT!!! ))
