My new fave femme... & Ivan Coyote's 'better' half!
"In choosing to look the way I do, I experience a privileged sort of femme invisibility, one that enables me to move through the straight world with relative ease...it seems to me that how femmes experience and respond to this kind of invisibility is as diverse as the range of femme identities. The corollary of femme invisibility is what I think of as strategic visibility, those moments in which we choose to out ourselves. Femmes are chameleons, able to blend in or stand up by standing out. We know when to make our colours burn bright for our chosen mates or as a way to disrupt someone's expectations about what a queer person looks like and when to match the wallpaper." The incredibly fabulous ZENA SHARMAN
