    • 1969, Maya Angelou, chapter 35, in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings‎, New York: Bantam, published 1971, page 238:
      After a thorough self-examination, in the light of all I had read and heard about dykes and bulldaggers, I reasoned that I had none of the obvious traits—I didn’t wear trousers, or have big shoulders or go in for sports, or walk like a man or even want to touch a woman.
    • 1992, “Big Mama”, in Roxanne Shanté (lyrics), The Bitch Is Back:
      You say you’re “Lyte as a Rock,” you get crushed like a pebble
      One word, and I’mma bag her
      Watch the bitch stagger, cause I don't dig the bulldagger
      To me a butch don’t deserve a mic in hand
      Somebody tell her to stop acting like a man
      She needs something real thick to help her out quick
      (What?) And that’s a good piece of dick
