a woman who is physically, emotionally, and romantically linked with women but identifies as bisexual or as a byke in order to accomodate her occassional attraction to men. She doesn't identify as a full on lesbian but is close. Related to Kinsey's Sexuality Scale. The Kinsey Report was written in the 1940s and 50s which found that there are more than the presumed 3 levels of sexuality (straight, bisexual, or gay), but that there are a multitude of sexual orientations. The report came up with a sliding 0-6 scale, defining "0" as completely heterosexual, all the way up to "6" as completely homosexual. A byke is a woman who would identify around a 4-5 level on the scale. Derived from the two words "bisexual" and "dyke" = byke. Byke is sometimes used as a comical reference to deny the rigid societal regulations of sexuality. A related word that a woman might also use is "queer" in order to relate with the LGBT community.
