No idea what that means to her, anything I said would be speculation.

Additionally, welcome to the Planet, where all varieties are welcome.

Welcome to the Planet. I concur. Have a conversation with your girlfriend about how she believes Diesel Dyke differs from Butch. Then I would ask, "Why."

Really your identity is for you to say and figure it out. There are many threads on this site that discusses gender. Again, welcome and have some fun too.

Maybe she's very literal and has a thing for truckers.

As mentioned, there's no way for us to be able to give you a definite answer, as all defintions, especially of identity, are subjective.

to the Planet, no matter how you got here!

Could be Lesbian who drives diesel engine car?

There is no way to know exactly except from her, and apparently she does nto want to tell you, or she already would have.

I would take it on the chin and get out there and meet someone who likes you for you.

I think it's a physical type: A butch can be of any proportions, but a diesel dyke is big and powerful body-wise.

Unleaded Dyke here, unless I am in the Beast. Then I am High Test! ( Super Unleaded for those not familiar with the old school terms "Regular or High Test"

I would have to follow suit with other suggestions here regarding asking her what she means, and if your ex- gf prefers a different kind of butch then you may be better off with that relationship being done. You should be "enough" for your partner. Hopefully, you don't feel the need to change who you are to please her ( or anyone else). There are many ways to express yourself and seems like each one has a different name or qualifier these days! Be you and the right match for you will appear one day! Good luck!

Welcome aboard!

I think the label of diesel dyke depends on the person not what some definition says

Cool

Just off the top of my head, perhaps she wanted you to me more manly or aggressive in nature or to ride a motorcycle as your mode of transportation. Now I ride a motorcycle but that doesn't make me diesel dyke, it's just a mode of transportation I've chosen...who knows. It's just her definition. As others have said, don't go changing who you are to please someone, it'll only make YOU unhappy!

IMHO...In my neck of the woods. Back in my younger days many many years ago. I dated a few "Deisel Dykes" For me it was thier masculine energy. It wasn't just how fricken hawt they looked..but it was the confidence,cockiness the whole energy they put out there. Nobody f*cked with them and if they did well let me just say they regreted it. They were James Dean/Marlon Brando, pistol/knife carrying,cock packing,truck driving, cow branding, horse breaking,construction working,mechanical, tough, strong,taking care of thier business Dykes. And very proud of who they were. I didn't witness any sort of abusive behaviour from anyone of them. They took care of thier family and friends. Protected them with thier lives. I don't know when the word Dyke became taboo to some. Personally being from the Old School back when..When someone ID's as Dyke it's celebration time. I in no way am saying that any other ID is wrong. I'm really glad that our community is so large and out there that anyone can ID as to what suits them and thier inner self. Nobody should ever be put into a one size fits all box. Diversity is what makes the world go around. As for you ex..well sounds to me like it was a weak excuse to not have to own up to her own personal issues.

My ex used to laughingly, lovingly call herself a diesel dyke. To her it was old school, embracing of a phrase used to put down very butch women back in the 60's (and later) when she first came out.

She was proud of how butch she was and I loved it. She was/is a very gentle soul regardless and never beat anyone up; nor did she carry weapons. She was strong as hell though & based on her appearance; no one ever fucked with her.
