Lost in Translation
This weekend I had my first big time Lost in Translation moment. A guy, who happens to be married and who lives with his father-in-law, told ME that I looked like I was "trying too hard", that I looked "too butch" for whatever the hell reason. I told him to fuck off, obviously. Gays in Mexico refer to each other using the female endings of the word, as in, he's lazy would become she's lazy. I DO NOT like this. I am very aware that I am a high-heel wearing drag queen performer who does not give two fucks about gender, but when I'm me I want to be cslled Antonio, not Antonia. Gays here think that I am trying too hard to be butch. First of all, in New York standards I am NOT butch at all....I am merely subtle. To think that the way that I act is considered BUTCH makes me laugh, and there's nothing I can do about it. I do not consider myself to be a butch person, yet I am FORCED to assume that position because people around me think I am way too butch, which is completely ridiculous, and you can identify with me if you know me. So, those of you thinking of coming over, please think it twice and realize that if you come here pretending to be even 10% masculine you will be dubbed as the DL loca case. If you try to act "normal", as I was called out for, people will think you are trying too hard. Well, my dears, FUCK them.
