A cross between the words
boi and
dyke. A lesbian who acts and dresses like a young boy, sometimes a very effeminate boy.
Boidykes usually identify as female, and do not always identify as
transgender. Note the differences between identifying between a
boy and a
boiBeing a boidyke is different to being
butch. Where as being butch is usually seen as 'man of the house' type thing, boidykes are more like young boys, in the playful, carefree type of way.
As boidykes are usually fairly androgenous, it is generally considered that if they were biologically male, they would be considered feminine for their gender.
Sophie is a lesbian who wears boys clothing and has hair like Justin Bieber. She is a tomboy, but if she was a guy most people would think she was gay. She is a boidyke.
