San Francisco
A new haircut and a nosering. Hugged my favorite lesbian porn star. Learned about some things I’d never heard of shopping in the Castro. Refreshing to be in such a gay friendly space.
I didn't hit my butch puberty until my early 30's. That's ok. It took me a long time to come out in the first place in a homogenous suburb in a hetereosexist society.
I struggled through all sorts of labels and identity to get to where I am today. And though a friend of mine says "labels are for other people, not for you" I do find them helpful at times. I started this blog as I was exploring some new labels for me. It's been really helpful to write about my thoughts on these matters. Thank you to all of you who comment, like, and reblog my posts. It's a great form of encouragement in my process of becoming me in a world that doesn't always react to subversive gender identities in the kindest way.
Today, if I were to pick a label, I would pick genderqueer butch dyke.
Maybe you think that's redundant. Maybe that means something else to you. If so, I would love to hear your thoughts. I'm serious!
