What is your name? Cathy
What's Your Email Addy? freya_bast@butch-femme.org
Do you have a website? Not yet but I'm thinking about it
Sister lesbian? Yes
Where do you live? Port Arthur, TX
Any suggestions? Explain for some of us naive ones what "sister"
means...Am I a lesbian...most definitely yes if that is what you mean...
Any Comments? Your statement about those who knew they were but stayed in the
"traditional" straight life, kinda hit hard...yes, I was a chicken and admit
it...some of you as butches, must also respect that there are some of us that are
"chickens" I am so very femme, I don't fight and that is a problem for me...We
needed you strong butches to do some fighting for us, (isn't that part of the
dynamic...it's part of mine and we've been together for almost 10 years) at that
time and the ones that came before you...I am now 42 and a strongly out person and
have been for 20 years...I didn't know what "was wrong with me" for all that time,
in fact until I was married because I was so very sheltered. I just thought that I
was the only one...talk about naive...So I thank you for getting your butt kicked,
but I was getting mine kicked by parents, men and whatnot while I was trying to
figure other things out like surviving. It wasn't until my nasty husband told me
that he wanted to
see 2 women do it that I realized that there actually was such a thing and he
rented a video for me so I could see...I was 22 then and that marriage didn't
last...I was out to everyone, lost friends, family etc...yes I had 3 children and I
don't regret that and here's another thought, I had a really bad time with butches
in VA (sailors, who wouldn't even look at me because I'm fat)I had some bad
dealings with some butches that really didn't look past the outside(and I am a
beautiful fat woman)...how shallow can they be...maybe it was better to be straight
at least try to be and be noticed than be shunned by your own...think about that
fact and I will now get off MY soapbox.
