Guydykes are less visible than girlfags, often only mentioned and seldom included in GF/GD contexts. To counter that, here is a list of articles, links, and videos that focus on guydykes. Much of this can be found elsewhere on this homepage, but this list gives guydykes an overview. 😉

I’m a straight transvestite or male lesbian. It seems we are beyond the idea that I am gay and hiding it. If I had to describe how I feel in my head, I’d say I’m a complete boy plus half a girl.

„The Man Who Loved Lesbians“
Eddie Izzard at Loose Women
The British stand-up comedian Eddie Izzard talks about her coming out as transgender and about her lesbian sexuality.
One host asks her: “But it’s not about your sexuality. So it’s not about coming out as gay?” Eddie answers:
It’s linked. I wanna be lesbian. I fancied women always, I fancied girls, but I also wanted to sort of be one. But I also got boy genetics. It’s just the genetic codes in there – I have both.
