Thinking about how folks from SF could write a manifesto on trash & recycling! One of the most regulated places for waste/recycling disposal.

the word "manifesto" is starting to become overused. if someone writes such a piece and it ends up in the Chronicle, they will probably end up being called a diatribe!

for trash and recycling, i prefer a more user-friendly (and media-friendly) term, such as "treatise".

p.s. if i knew how to start a thread, i would start one about garbage. is there one already? not butch-specific but for the planet masses?

only a butch would understand..........a few of my peeves and thoughts

I hate it when before anyone addresses me if there is a question as to my gender ( Im assuming ) people imediately look at my chest.

and even more so, since I lost all this weight and I can tuck my tits in my waist band of my jeans, after looking at my chest they look at my crotch.
( and still get it wrong!)

I hate it when people I have only met briefly but realize Im gay say your the man right? I say um no, I am a woman which kinda is important to the definition of a lesbian isnt it? two women? is it not? and they still answer with yeah, yeah I know, but your the guy though huh?.......!!!!

to me its kinda like asking a guy you just found out was married" hey I bet you do your wife doggy style dont ya?

I hate it when I go to get a hair cut and I have to spend ten minutes trying to talk the hairdresser into cutting my hair like I want it. I mean I have actually walked out because she was "sure I wouldnt like it and just wanted to trim it "

oh, a question...... has anyone ever got an extra short haircut to save having to come back as soon? or because you simply dont want to mess with it?

Is running low on conditioner really gonna fuck our lives up that bad? if it were my cigs or her conditioner .....Id be rollin buts........if I didnt buy that pricey ass conditioner Id have money for my cigs....( cant ya just use more of the cheap stuff ?)

Have you ever wondered why she lays out a set of clothes to wear she puts them on, they look great , you tell her that and she will try on six more and when you finally pick the one you like the most she puts on the very first out fit????

I wonder if there is a physical reason that makes it that I can only rub her back about 1/10th of the time she will rub mine before my arms give out.

how bout?????premature ejaculation??( for lack of a term for bustin it way before you planned....I mean WTF ? Am I the only one. come ya'll 'fess up.does it happen to you?

do you naturally do gross things without thinking? and then you turn around and she is looking at you like she is completely repulsed?

okay the burping thing... Im sooooo guilty... It is a terrible nasty habit I have, if Im drinkin beer I burp, I DGAF if Im in a restuarant or a bar or drinkin with my pals I burp, I do it without thinking. I know I know it is gross.
( I secretly wish My stomach wasnt amputated so I could belt em out like I used to.)

why do I have to pick up all nails tools, car fuses, screws, paperclips handy little pokey crap and shove it in my pockets all day long, and why? do I take that shit out and put it in my next days clean jeans to carry around with me for no fuckin' reason again?

Why when people really really piss me off do I always threaten to whoop their ass? I am trying to be a peaceful creature really.

how do ya stop yourself from looking at boobs while you are talking to people?

why is it when we spot another butch do we
give off a vibe but really not make eye contact and rarely if ever smile o acknowledge each other?
how bout some feedback butches????

Hi, i am Martina, and i am femme. i have three skirts and about six tops that i alternate among. On any given day, i wear the ones that are clean. i fuck femmes as well as butches. i can not do nails. Nor can i fix the car. If being a femme means you repair small engines in stilettos as so many of our threads seem to attest, then . . . .

I just loved this entire post Stoney...you brought up some of the best thoughts! I am also curious about the eye contact thing. It's seemed to me that it's just always been so difficult for lesbians in general to make eye contact. Like if we look at each other something will happen, or people will "know" (like I give a flyin fuck if anyone knows!). but it is particularly noticable with butches I think...maybe that's because I am butch so that's the only real angle I have experienced it from. As I have gotten older I have made more of an effort to make the eye contact, and the normal little head nod that we all do. But it is a phenomena that I have always wondered about....anyone else got anything to say about the lack or avoidance of eye contact between us? What are we afraid of? Or what are we avoiding?

Jett · 04-27-2010, 10:23 AM

Hmmm, I haven't noticed it like that MB, running into other butches usually elicits a glance w/ enough eye contact for the slightest smile and brief head nod from both sides.

And w/ other lesbian types actually I can usually tell they're lesbians (maybe) by the pro-longed eye contact w/ that "smiling eyes" look thing on their face...

Maybe you're looking away to soon? Or maybe I'm not looking away soon enough... lol.

Yes, I have always found it weird when I come across a butch who avoids eye contact with me. When we do have eye contact, the head nod thing happens.

I have wondered if the butch type person that avoids my gaze is the kind of butch who avoids eye contact with EVERYONE (so as to not get that look of disgust we can get), and so when hy/she sees me out of the corner of hys eye hy just assumes me to be male. Subsequently, no "butch nod" occurs.

Don't know, but the above was a thought that came to me once...

Andrew, Jr. · 04-27-2010, 07:06 PM

When in public I acknowledge anyone who acknowledges me. It can be a head shake, or a hand shake. I always make eye contact with people. It is other people who have the issue with responding back to me. They have no idea of what I am (is that a boy or a girl attitude). I think we all go thru that pretty much. We just have to be who we are, and hold our heads high.
