The conundrum
A pansy who lived in Khartoum
Took a lesbian up to his room,
And they argued a lot
About who would do what
And how and with which and to whom.
May the gods preserve and defend me from self-righteous altruists; I can defend myself from my enemies and my friends.

That will work :D

Speaking of the word "dyke", the pronunciation of the legendary Agnodice is Agno-dike. I don't know if this is part of the etymology of the epithet, but it would be delightful if the classic story of this cross-dressing feminist champion was related.

In most people sexual identity is strong. However, it is not simply binary, but is a continuum.
And within this continuum there is a fair bit of variation.

For example, some physical males may find it sufficient to wear womens clothing on occasion [re J. Edgar Hoover] whereas others
may require full gender reassignment surgery and hormone therapy [re Bruce Jenner].

Obscure according to the OED.

However, people continue to form hypotheses:
This term for a lesbian is a clipped form of bulldyker, an American slang term that dates to at least 1906. The clipped form dyke doesn't appear until 1931. The origin is unknown, but the fact that bulldyker is the earliest known form by several decades limits the possibilities significantly.

Douglas Wilson, in Comments on Etymology, Vol. 31, No. 9, May 2002, outlines an interesting hypothesis. He speculates that it may be from Boadicea, the Celtic warrior queen who led the ancient Britons in battle against the Romans. Boadicea's name is also commonly spelled Boudicca or Boudica--forms which can be easily corrupted into bulldyker. The metaphor of an Amazon-like warrior queen for a man-like woman is clear. Boudicca's true sexual orientation is irrelevant (and impossible to determine after two millenia); what is important is the image and the metaphor. Wilson suggests the appearance of the term at the turn of the 20th century may coincide with a renewed interest in the story of Boudicca. A famous London statue of Boudicca in a chariot was dedicated in 1902 and Queen Victoria's death in 1901 invited many comparisons with past English queens, including Boudicca.

Wilson is not the first to make this leap. Judy Grahn suggested in her 1984 book Another Mother Tongue that Boudicca may be the inspiration for bulldyker. But Grahn suggests that that the term dates to Boudicca's days, which is completely untenable. The term is recent, even if the source of its inspiration is old. (Note that the Boudicca hypothesis is speculation. It's interesting, but speculation nonetheless.)

The word is apparently unrelated to dike, meaning an earthen bank used to hold back or control the flow of water, a dam. This sense of dike dates to the 13th century and probably comes from the Old Norse dik.
Urban Dictionary:

Look over there. That bull dyke just kicked the lavender out of that little Dutch boy. He must have tried to stick his finger where it don't belong.

But do any of these people actually change genders. BTW the Hoover thing is an old urban legend that for some reason persists. Why did you believe it. Who told it to you.

As a rule I don't put words in other people's mouths. Unless they do it first. Generally, I just follow what ever the other person does. If they can speak as an adult, I''ll do that. If they speak in baby talk, I'll do that. Etc. But I let the other party go first. If they insult my intelligence I of course have every right to respond in kind if I feel like. I play by their rules. That way less complaining when I win.

Well, I don't think it matters much what I believe. Rather, I think it matters what the affected individuals believe.
If the individuals experience sufficient physical [and mental] changes post-op and post-hormone therapy to be happy
with their self-perception of their gender identity, then it's a success for all in involved.

Read it somewhere ages ago.
You're right about the cross-dressing bit. It's apocrypha. There is a high probability that Hoover was a queer, not a cross-dressing tranny.

Orthodox Jews Can’t Protest Gay Pride Parade, Hire Mexicans Instead
Time to update Chandler . . .
"There is nothing tougher than a tough Mexican,

just as there is nothing gentler than a gentle Mexican,

nothing more honest than an honest Mexican,

and above all nothing sadder than a sad Mexican."
And nothing more Orthodox Jewish than an Catholic Mexican.
and, my favourite,
Ironically, the 'Jewish' guy on the left is named Jesus.....

The suicide rate post tranny op is identical to those who don't have it. They mutilate their bodies and they don't feel any better. How is it that I know this stuff and you guys don't.

It's pure speculation. But some people desperately want to convince people of it. Why is that I wonder. Eg, why is it important for you to spread this completely speculative rumor.

You got it from a left wing media product (only the left advanced the lie). Why did they lie to you. I have an answer if you can't think of anything.

I needed 2 different threads.

Eg, if a teen girl cuts her arms habitually we tell her to stop and get help. If a teen girl stops eating in order to get thin, we tell her to stop, eat a healthy diet, and get help. If a person is sad and happy all the time to the point it interferes with their lives, we tell them to get help. We don't tell any of these people that it is a natural (it is) part of their identity we should all celebrate.

Why do we tell trannies to mutilate their bodies and shoot themselves full of hormones, instead of getting help.
