Mirrors

To Arwen, my femme sister:

You radiate kindess from the inside out, like rays of sunshine.

Your laugh makes me want to laugh, even when I'm feeling grumpy.

Your hugs are the stuff that dreams are made of.

I love and covet your wild, beautiful hair.

I second what you said about Arwen!

Gemme, we dont know each other well but I feel that you radiate kindness, compassion, and a super-spicy personality. I love your wit, intelligence, and think that you are incredibly charming.

Thank you, Medusa.

Super-spicy, huh? I like that!

Medusa,

I find you to be a breath of fresh air. Your love is deep as you are from the south. When I first met you and your other half years ago, you hugged me with such warmth, and conviction. It was a hug like I experienced from my beloved Grandmother, who I just cherish.

When I send you pms asking for you to help me, you answer me with joy. You don't talk down to me, or talk at me, or anything at all. You give me hope, and love. I appreciate that more than you will ever know.

This site you made a home for everyone. All walks of life. Abled and disabled. Thank you.

Love,
Andrew

It's not necessary for someone to respond back in kind (other than a thank you) to someone who has complimented them, but I have great respect for Medusa, so here's what I think of her:

Medusa, I find you brave. I can easily imagine you being the only child willing to go into a dark sewer drain and leading the pack as they begrudgingly follow you, because...really...who wants to be left alone outside of a sewer drain? Starting this site is a prime, grown up example of your bravery.

I've always had a thing for redheads. Maybe it's because my hair gets more auburn in summer, but never quite 'officially' red. Or maybe it's the fire that burns so strongly within redheads that the only way they wouldn't burn up is if it filtered through their hair. Bottle reds too, because not everyone can carry fire on their heads, yanno?

You remind me of Lucille Ball sometimes. That's a very good thing. I think she was brilliant and there are days when you are just as funny as she, if not more so.

As Andrew mentioned, you are kind. You wear your kindness on your sleeve. Your spirit feels a little mom, a little favorite aunt, a little big sister, a little like the class clown, a little favorite teacher, and a whole lot like a good friend. And even though we haven't actually met in person, I do believe that I would be completely comfortable in your presence.

Arwen · 12-17-2009, 11:15 PM

Gemme, I

you for starting this thread!

I am going to hold a mirror up for Cara.

Cara, you and I have met at a Femme Swap at a Bash...in Vegas or Dallas ( i am time-challenged).

You have this adorably cute face with the sweetest pair of eyes. You are a woman with curves who really knows how to dress. I liked you when I saw you and am just sorry we don't live near one another.

Arwen · 12-18-2009, 12:09 PM

I am going to hold a mirror up for Linus.

You are someone I am so very proud to call my brother. I don't use that term lightly ever. It's an important word to me. I want you to know what I see when I look in the mirror at Linus.

A man who is dedicated to being the best teacher he can be.
A man who is dedicated to creating a partnership based on love and respect.
A man who is not afraid to reveal his feelings
A man who knows how to love his friends

You share your journey so openly, Linus. I have no doubt that there are young transfolk alive because of your willingness to share and show the way.

julieisafemme · 12-18-2009, 01:39 PM

I am going to hold a mirror up to Greyson.

Greyson of anyone I have ever met you work the hardest to confront yourself every day. You are fearless at taking inventory. Sometimes too fearless. Sometimes You do not appreciate how deeply kind and caring You are as a human being. You are genuine and real. You are strong and smart. You are a wonderful partner and I am blessed to know You.

Thank.. I'm very humbled..

I hold a mirror up for Medusa:

You are far more technically adapt and inclined than you realize. And more importantly, you add the most important ask to technology: a human feeling. You've made a community that is truly open and caring; that isn't an exclusive gated community but one that is welcoming and open to all who walk through the doors.

I hold a mirror up for Andrew:

You are a tall man who stands above others and you show a caring, sensitive side for those who are in pain. You care about others in a way that many refuse to do. You're honest and without pretension about who you are.

I hold up a mirror for Arwen:

You have always been just amazing as a sister. You always have great advice and good Tarot vibes when I need direction.

You share joy and happiness to those around.

Your literary talent and creative ideas are amazing.

Your laughter always brings a smile to may face.

Your sound advice has always helped when it was most needed.

And you were pretty astute in pointing out that my cap wasn't quite reflective of me even before I knew it.
