Self portrait.
Fat Femme life. reading a book about chicana lesbians in the pool ;)
Everyone who’s an LGBT supporter is generally loud mouthed and annoying, so the Day of Silence doesn’t really have an impact on anyone. Since you’re shutting up, you’re just giving us what we want.

You have to pick ‘male’ or ‘female’, and it’s pretty much just about Lesbians/Gay men, but it will occupy you for a little bit.
This is one of the reason why butches/queers/bois/andros/dykes always make me swoon.
perpetuating a sexist/classist/racist system makes me swoon, too
I agree that chivalry has been traditionally sexist/racist/classist. However, to me, I believe the word can be reclaimed, and instead be about an affectionate taking care of, being considerate of, being respectful of, and doing sweet little things for.
But, I can understand how other people don’t think of it that way, or haven’t redefined for themselves.
I hear all of this.
I guess to me, chivalry only exists when NOT perpetrating those fucked up systems.

The way you carry yourself, I notice it first. Even before I notice the jeans, baggy in an era of skin-tight ones, and the hoodie, oversized and well-worn, but rarely washed. It isn’t a swagger. It’s not that you lack confidence, but that you are wiser and don’t relate the two. You let the new…
oh grrrl…..
I read your latest column, “In Plain Sight”, with great interest. When I was first coming out, I was terrified that there wasn’t a word for me. I’m queer and I’m feminine, and I was afraid that no one would recognize me, that no one would ever want me. I was afraid that I wasn’t “doing it right”,…
you make me proud

I feel ambivalent about this post. On the one hand, I fucking love Ivan for all the love she shows femmes. You are a supa butch babe, Ivan, and I can only hope that one day I will have the chance to flirt with you in person, and by god, you. will know. i. am. queer.
On the other hand, I’m so tired of this femme invisibility thing. Reality check: we’re not invisible. You’re just not looking hard enough. Chick was flirting with you, Ivan! What’s a femme to do? Grab your ass? Geez.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO APOLOGIZE FOR CRITICIZING IVAN
i don’t care how much ivan is beloved. you are allowed to criticize. I feel like we, as femmes, are supposed to apologize for criticizing butches. FUCK THAT.
(that was ranty)
anyway - yes.
