Quote:
These quotes lifted from BUTCH ENOUGH are kinda priceless: "Clearly many female-identified butches at BV feel like there are issues around sexism/misogyny (among other points) that aren’t being addressed. And it is just as clear, based on the recent ouster, who holds the power in the organization." "Any time you use a [linear] structure like ["masculine of center"], there is an implicit (or sometimes explicit) rating or ranking, that leaves some gender expressions as “more” and some as “less”. Thus, differences in expression of masculinity are quantitative rather than qualitative. That is, it becomes about different amounts of masculinity, rather than different kinds. "[T]he official statement written by Butch Voices Board President Krys Freeman....explicitly casts female-identified butches as outsiders that BV is “working” to include. Apart from the absurdity of a large group of butches, probably a majority of butches, being outsiders in an organization called Butch Voices, recent events would suggest that these efforts to “include” female-identified butches are not very effective. Of course, mere inclusion shouldn’t really be the goal anyway. For Butch Voices to be the organization it claims to be, true power-sharing would have to happen. Female-identified butches would have to have equal footing in the organizational power structure, rather than be outsiders the organization is trying to include – on its own terms." "If the BV board finds “butch” to be such a stigmatized term that they want to cover it over with “masculine of center” (a profoundly imperfect term in its own right), fine. But they should start with the name of the organization itself and leave the word “butch” to those of us who wear it with honor and with pride. Anything else is shameless hypocrisy." Here's what I wish.... I wish people would stop acting like the stuff going on at BV is unusual. |

cross posted
I will cross post this to a couple other threads.
Lesbian Connection, aka LC, is a magazine I have superscribed to for years. It arrives quarterly in my mailbox in an indiscreet manila envelope! It is a quick read with only 50 pages. They are reprinting the series "Dykes to Watch out For" The subscription fee is sliding scale free to anyone world wide and $42 for those that can afford it. Donations and gift subscriptions are appreciated! I am not on the staff, I am just worried that without support, this little rag will vanish as has the woman's bookstores that use to be.

Indeed! I knew Sue wrote it but it was Meg who recorded it. The video just said Sue Link.... or do I just need new glasses... which is a strong possibility!

This is a link to a photo essay about what a bunch of people --butches and Femmes very visibly so-- were doing in August 2005. I just wanted to send out a friendly, fun reminder about how much butches and Femmes have done over the years as leaders in justice movements for ALL people. This is just one example -- do you have other examples? Let's hear 'em!

Meg and Chris performing again!
We're heading out on one of the 40th anniversary Olivia Cruises and Meg and Chris, along with a lot of other original Olivia performers, will be on Board!
Anyone else going? Here's hoping Meg performs this classic!!! (Or Sue  )

Leaping butch lesbian right here !!! LOL
That cruise sounds like fun. I'm not going so you'll have to let us know how it was when you get back. Where is the cruise going anyway? I would love to take a cruise on Olivia but sadly I can't afford the luxury. I will have to experience this vicariously via you and yours. Thanks. And I remember those albums back when I was young. I used to listen to them with friends. Lots of fun and laughter with them back in the day. Kinda miss that part of my life, it was tons of fun.

Wow, Meg and Cris...that brings back memories! I myself came out in the '90s, but a former partner of mine came out in the '70s, and introduced me to all kinds of women's music. Changer and the Changed still brings me comfort.
I can only imagine how much fun it'd be to be on an Olivia cruise, though a b-f one would be even better! Scorp & I aren't much for cruises, though. Quote:

I so wanna! I missed the last one that left out of San Diego, but went to an Olivia "pre" party, and told myself I won't miss it again! The only thing about Olivia is that they are SO expensive compared to "regular" cruises that go to the same ports. I work on cruise ships as a sign language interpreter, and two of my friends work on the Olivia ships. They have it "locked down" but if there is ever an opening, I am taking it!! Where is this one leaving from??
Have fun!! Quote:
