Pressurised to transition.

Following this fabulous discussion has given me so much food for thought. AtLastHome, thank you for the links you provided earlier in the conversation. Wonderful articles each one filled with so many excellent points.

I watched a documentary the other evening on PBS that was part of the Independent Lens series. The documentary was about Two Spirit people. In the past I'd partnered with two Native American Butches, both of whom ID'd as Two Spirit. Neveretheless, I found the documentary to be full of information I'd not known before. I especially like the traditional view that there are more than two genders and that each gender has a role to play in the community. Two Spirits

Would that we could have such an enlightened point of view in our culture.

Something that has become more clear to me as I read and think about all that has been said, is just how very queer being a High Femme is. Speaking for myself, I can say that supporting and defending the right to be just as they are, has always been a big component of my loving masculine of center women. I'm pretty certain that that is true for all femmes who love MOC women and those who choose to transition as FTM.
