Dare I say I never gave it much thought up until now and I'm a bit embarrassed about that notion.

Now single, I am soooooo attracted to gentle butches, but I have to say if I was butch, I'd woo Tina any day of the week!! And, Tina might have to defend her Jess from my desiring arms!! (gee, I'm straddling both sides of the "issue" now.) I love reading both of your blogs and wish you both ever growing love.

I, too, have struggled with gender and gender expression. I personally like being a butch lesbian, but I still sometimes push the envelope further than my wife would like. Like the time I shaved my head. She didn't talk to me for two days. Trust the process. You two will find your way together to a place that feels comfortable for both of you.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3020','Dharma Kelleher'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3020','Dharma Kelleher','Like I said yesterday, you two are the cutest queer couple I know. \r\n\r\nI, too, have struggled with gender and gender expression.

I think it's quite a testament to your love that you accept the flexibility of gender in your partner. A really great book I read about this topic was "testosterone," (and autobiography of a transman). It makes me realize how fortunate I am to wake up every morning and know exactly what gender I am...and fortunate that it feels "natural" that I am in the body I have. I'm totally into women...but the thing that evolves as I do, is the realization that sometimes women come in many forms...and sometimes, just because they may appear like a woman, doesn't mean that they are a woman at all. It's more about how you feel than what your body looks like. There's a wide and wonderful world out there...and people can be beautiful in any of diverse forms that gender comes in. You just have to be open enough to see beyond stereotypes. Thank you for bringing up this topic...and for sharing your story.
