I certainly was not on for lesbians to use it when I was active in the community. We have (had) dyke marches & dykes on bikes, so if you were a lesbian we were confortable calling ourselves this. I wouldn't be comfortable being called dyke my straight people. That would feel like an attack. It's a rather strange process, reclaiming slurs.
