If I'm not with a butch everyone just assumes I'm straight. It's like I'm passing too, against my will. I'm sick of the world thinking I'm straight. I've worked hard to be discriminated against as a lesbian

My right to be me is tied with a thousand threads to your right to be you.

Are you with women who only bleed monthly on their cycles?

We have not always been forced to pass, to go underground, in order to work and live. We have a right to live openly and proudly...when our lives are suppressed, everyone is denied an understanding of the rich diversity of sex and gender expression and experience that exist in human society.

I began to feel the pleasure of the weightless state between here and there

surrenderin is unimaginably more dangerous than struggling for survival!

everybody's scared, but if you don't let your fears stop you, that's bravery!
