Gender Trouble at the Pool Table - or how to be a woman part 2

gender-trouble-at-the-pool-table-or-how-to-be-a-woman-part-2

The other night my partner and I stuck it out for two whole games while being heckled by a couple of men at the pool table. They were agressive and full of sexist and homophobic insults. I won’t bore you with the all too familiar details. The barwoman has promised to throw them out next [...]

Gender Trouble at the Gym - or how to be a woman

gender-trouble-at-the-gym-or-how-to-be-a-woman

The other day I was filled with nostalgic pangs of longing for our old women’s only gym in the UK. I can in fact pinpoint the start of this feeling to one specific incident. The pangs started just about the time a pompous looking man decided to do the ultimate in space invasion and step [...]

Can the heterosexual community stop asking me how do lesbians F*$k!

can-the-heterosexual-community-stop-asking-me-how-do-lesbians-fk

“Straight people” seem to always be so dam puzzled when asking me “how do two women have sex?” As if the porn industry hasn’t already diluted the shock factor enough. To be quite honest when I answer this question any expression of astonishment from the people who ask me, just comes off as fake [...]

Hello darkness my old friend

hello-darkness-my-old-friend

It is unbelievable to me how easy it is to fall back into old familiar habits, frighteningly easy. And yet here I sit, knife in hand, and covered in blood. My poor ol’ keyboard is hating me at the moment. Nothing I won’t live through, though.
I remember what they said when they [...]

How to become everything you hate…

how-to-become-everything-you-hate

Maturity Vs. Moral obscurity?
Who am I at long last…
I used to poke fun at the briefcase toting,
ticket noting,
status-quo deep throating
resounding chorus of pin stripe clad…
SHEEP.
Now i am the government’s tool.
A humble divining rod, leading that sterile bigot down into my former hiding place.
In my uniform of dockers and I’m going to be late. I’m going [...]

inappropriate concern

The woman I call my best friend has known me since middle school. We are slowly approaching twenty years of friendship. Our birthdays are about 2 weeks apart, we’re both Libras. To look at us on paper, we couldn’t be more different, then you listen to our philosophies on life, what our needs are and [...]

Public Bathroom Etiquette

I’m not going to lie. This post has nothing to do with being a lesbian, gay politics, or homosexuality in any form. However that’s what I like about this blog. There our stories so I can write about whatever I feel the need to write about. The topic I will be tackling this afternoon is [...]

Hate is such a strong word

hate-is-such-a-strong-word

I’ve been battling back and forth with my wife over my “overuse” of the word. Apparently it’s bringing others down?
First off I can’t really see, or understand how one persons use of the word “hate” can really change your day that much. Rest assured though I don’t always use it for things I “hate” I [...]
