Here come the lesbians, here come the leaping lesbians...

Yup. I'm a leaping, flying, cartwheeling lesbian.

AtLast · 05-29-2010, 12:25 AM

Yup, I'm a dyke! I use lesbian, too.. and queer. Lesbianism is my sexuality, bar none. And it is the essence of my B-F dance!

And it is this very community (with its entire cast of characters) that has actually brought a very special rendering of lesbian to me! I'm not the dyke I used to be, really. I'd say I am a much more fluid and .... self-examined lesbian all in all. Good thing, I'm not exactly a sweet young thang!

OMG!!! The women's music memories!!!

I'm a lesbian in that I am in a female body and I love and am attracted to others who also have female bodies.

I'm also genderqueer and have often been attracted to others who have some level of genderqueerness or gender variance, but I've decided that doesn't negate my being a lesbian. I've also loved and been attracted to women with not an ounce of genderqueerness or gender variance.

Who knew?

Leaping Lesbian Lizards!

Officially named Cnemidophorus uniparens, these American desert lizards reproduce despite the fact that they’re all female. Interestingly, some of them simulate sexual acts (above, left) with each other just like male and female lizards, and it’s been discovered that when they do they reproduce more successfully than their abstemious sisters.

Where as I don't dance...leap...or do cartwheels...I have been known to try to chase down a squirrel or two...and I'm a GAY WOMYN...does that make me a squirrel-chasing lesbian?*shrugs*smh...you are what you are...

Women's Music was so defining for us. We had a local college radio show that, every Sunday, played all the great music and had guests like Meg, Alix Dobkin, and Ferron when she came to town. I played Cris Williamson over and over again--"Sweet Woman" made me swoon every time. When I came out, the first thing I did (and I mean this literally), was find "Changer and the Changed" on CD (much of the old music is at cdbaby.com). We had one of those small, dark bars with a jukebox and nothing much to eat. Just lots of smoke and steamy dancing. Again, defining. I never got to Michigan, but I remember a drive back and forth to a music festival in MA, with lots of stages, many outhouses, and hardly anyone with a shirt on. One important memory, when I was coming out again, was how one woman in particular made me feel any time I was within view of her. She was a big, beautiful butch and in her presence, I could barely breathe. I didn't know what that was.... Now, with life and experience behind me, I can recognize this as the first time I really felt true attraction and desire.

She has always been one of my favorites. I once studied under one of her deciples (Alison Zier) and this remains one of the brightest highlights of my life. This makes total sense to me. Thanks for the link.
