A question about passing...

Rockinonahigh · 10-14-2010, 06:57 PM

HI Bit...Passing for me has worked pretty well in most situations,tho I swear I dont really try to do so.I can go into a place then notice most butches pretty quick,even tho I have missed a lot cause they often are right on the edge of discovery of who they are.One thing ive noticed is that what one sees as butch may be andro to another,hear in my home town I am often thought of a trans by many,wich irks the crap out of the trans men cause they are on T and or going thrue some form of transition and im not in anyway shape or form doing that.On one hand ppl see me as an old school old fashion butch of the 60,s or before or,beleave it or not, a cross dresser witch really pisses me off when it happends cause im just being me.I live in the south (my part of the south anyway) wich dosent do much of any bf or have a place for it..this is lesbo country all the way.I may be wrong but it shure seems that way to me.

bit..this takes place in midievil times?

Thank you, Rockin! I really appreciate your perspective!

Hi softness! No, it doesn't take place in medieval times exactly; it's not historical fiction but a fantasy set on another planet. That planet has a very low tech society, like Earth did in medieval times, so there won't be any rubber or silicone or anything... but yanno, they manage.

Love it, "but yanno, they manage." Sometimes I feel like I am a relic from the days of wagon trains and moving westward to open up the new frontier. The internet has changed everything.

It sure has changed everything, Greyson! I so know what you mean about feeling like a relic but I call that "pioneer" lol.... I feel so much better about being a pioneer than a relic!

15 millionkajillion stars on this thread... I notice probably 95% of the time... but I remember a time when one was not discovered to be a passer until the mortician discovered their identity.
