LECTURE ON COMING OUT
i want to talk about coming out, to myself, the way it is that I am 25 years old and only just let myself have this. after years of "hooking up with girls"
i was afraid - a lot of being afraid was about my size. I didn't want to be big and a dyke. I felt overpowering, and like if i was hooking up with a girl I would be taking advantage of her.
witholding a gift - not letting myself out was withholding something that inspires people. the way i came out was by seeing people
the way i've moved through identities which i thought were completely "me" me in a way which had never before been externally ackowledged
