that beloved time of the month when the universe brings the gender conflict front and center in my life. Why can't there be a way to make this go away without hormones, chemicals, or surgery? But not to completely bitch today, The more I read S/he, the more amazed I am. It's amazing to me that someone can write about such intensely personal aspects of their life, and so wonderfully that it puts you right there with them. But it's also amazing that a woman who never said masturbation out loud before she was 28 can write this! Part of me wishes I could experience some of these things, but I'm really just happy to see that people exist who understand and love the gender mixing. I also love that it's from the perspective of the femme, which puts in it a better perspective for my girlfriend as opposed to stone butch blues which comes from the butch perspective. I'm soooo buying this book when it's re-issued in the spring.
Off to finishing my lab and then on to work...both jobs tonight, toyriffic 3-7:30 and BK from 8-11:30. long night ahead of me...
Oh yeah, and I feel like I'm in some sort of wierd universe where I expect to see Cole or Aidan walk around the corner at any moment. I'm surrounded by strangers here, just like at point, but there's no trans or many queers to make things seem ok on campus. And that wasn't even the big gay conference! It's so strange...How will I come back from that one?! Alright stalling enough. Time to work!
