My Butch Swagger

My response to a butch asking me (whilst I was dressed butch) "So is this a look y'all are goin for?" I talk about my butch swagger and dyke and queer gender issues in of color communities.

Gah I am sooo confused. I LOVE black butches but its like knowing that underneath lies TnA is like a let down...then I think well if the TnA belonged to a woman I had feelings for then maybe it wouldnt be THAT bad. I dunno...I do think I were to live in NY I would be turned out something serious lol

Praying won't help, haha. Some people don't know how to mind their own business, and they don't grasp that they are not the expert on everybody else's life. They are insane control freaks when it comes to other people's gender. Fuck 'em!

o, child, i am in love with this, & with you, and damn, i'm even getting back in love with me!! i'm so freaking caught up in worrying how folk see me, how they judge me, how they box me. and check it - i'm fat, old, and usually rocking the boring middle aged look! when really, 1 day i wanna paint my nails black and turn out the goth/scifi freak in me, & the next i wanna find me a purple dress & some purty shoes, n the next i'm down with my leather jacket & motorcycle boots!!!!!
