The image I have of myself is I am who I am, the lovers/girlfriends/partners I have have had never questioned my image (or if they did they never told me) and I it has never been requested by anyone I have been with to look or act a certain way. It has always bothered me that society has such a stronghold on what a girl or boy should act or look like. Screw society and their hegemonic attitudes.

We own our lives and we have the right to dress as we want, cut our hair as we want, present ourselves as we want without being ridiculed.

Admiration to those of you who live outside the box and fight for the rights to be who you are without conceding to societies definitions.
well said Okie...Medusa once called me a "faggy butch" cause I love all things theater,musical etc lol

Im just mellow..take me as I am or not at all. In the community they look at me and say id=butch,,Ive never liked being called "sir" because I am femaile-identified..now,,I sit here with my hair pulled back into a small ponytail...,, I guess as I hit my 50's I dont care as how people see me anymore on the outside as long as they know its the insides that last

Well hey "Faggy Butch" I'm with you on this. I love the theater and musicals. Red and I are hoping you stop and stay a few days when you head back to Tenn. You are bringing Gypsy correct?
