ABOUT LITERALLY DYKE
Hello, my name is Di and I am Literally Dyke!
I am a homosexual adult human female, also know as a lesbian. I’m a feminist activist, fully grown tomboy and self-confessed lover of women. I live with my partner and our two girls in South Yorkshire, UK, and we are all unapologetically gender abolitionist.
I very much believe that you are either the possessor of large or small gametes. If you have large gametes you are biologically female. If you have small gametes you are biologically male. Human beings are not clown fish and cannot change sex. Therefore, no man has ever become a woman, and as a direct consequence of that, no lesbian has EVER had a penis.
Due to my gender abolitionist/gender critical beliefs and lesbian and feminist activism, I use my clothing to turn myself in to a walking billboard. The Literally Dyke store has come about because of that. Women have asked me where I get my t-shirts, wanting to buy them, so here is the place.

I am clearly identifying myself as a person with protected gender abolitionist/critical beliefs (thank you Maya Forstater) and, as a lesbian, which is a further protected characteristic. If that is a problem to you, I suggest you look somewhere else for your lesbian/feminist merchandise.
I am very grateful that I was a young lesbian in the 1980’s, not in these crazy times. I would have been a prime candidate for being convinced I might have been born in the wrong body. I liked girls, climbing trees, making dens, playing football, woodwork and metalwork, playing with action men and clothing that was useful, like dungarees and combat trousers.
I liked nothing at all about being born a girl. I wasn’t allowed to do a paper round because I was a girl. I couldn’t play football for the schools I attended because I was a girl. I had to ride shopping bikes instead of the cool racing bike my brother had because I was a girl. Being a girl meant, as far as my dad advised me, looking pretty and snagging myself a rich man so that I could be a good woman, barefoot and pregnant.
That was NOT the future I saw for myself, AT ALL!
As soon as I was able, aged 17, I ran away from home in Hong Kong and straight back to the UK, were I made myself in my own image.
From leaving school I have worked predominantly in male dominated jobs, starting out in catering, moving in to being a professional driver (HGV’s), then on to property development and launching The Yorkshire Handy Woman.
As a property developer I first developed land, turning empty fields in to a smallholding and selling it at a profit 5 years later. I then went on to renovate a 1930’s semi-detached property in Derbyshire, again making a profit, but more importantly, it enabled me to broaden my skillsets and become the handy woman that I am.
I also run a small web design and hosting company, Geek Practique, where I predominantly host websites run and owned by females.
Literally Dyke is where I fight for the right’s of myself and other lesbians to be exclusively same-sex attracted. To highlight the plight of tomboys, who are currently being convinced that they are probably really men born in the wrong body and that a bit of testosterone will sort them right out, whilst also, single-handedly, wiping out most of the younger butch lesbians. I’m not OK with the gender woo woo and this is the place I fight back.
I sell my t-shirts here to help fund my activism, but also to encourage other lesbians to be additional lesbian strength and visibility alongside me.
In addition to taking a small income from my creativity, I am also putting aside £1 from every item of Literally Dyke clothing sold. This money I will donate to a lesbian or feminist action group or service provider to help them reach more lesbians/women with their work. In this, my first years trading, I will donate the funds made during 2024 to Lesbian Strength Leeds.
