when i was a dyke
when I was a dyke I used the pronoun she
when I was a dyke I was allowed to be angry
when I was a dyke it was ok to take up space
when I was a dyke I was encouraged to fight for the right to have my opinion heard
when I was a dyke I hung out with lots of feminists and we were all about kicking ass girl power style...we were also all about talking about rape and bringing it out into the open. Making sure the rapist was held accountable no matter what. If a person felt violated that was all we needed to know.
now I am a transexual. I use the pronoun he and fight everyday for my right to self identify. I wear a binder only to be called she and miss and ma'am everywhere I go. I am still the same person but finally found access to the language that tells who a really am. I've been told it was like I was a different person back then. But its still me. Just with eyes that have seen more and my heads a little bit fuller. I guess I feel a little bit more isolated now and way more dependant on my allies. But its all good. I'm just rollin with the punches and taking it easy.
I'm going to go get drunk now. woo hoo. To all you calgarians, see you tuesday.
