Who of the people in your life is most like the opposite gender? Is it indeed yourself? What is it they do, say, wear etc...Is she really butch? Is he really effeminate?...

I am not very butch.

What was your question?

The most butch girl I knew was in the military. She alway swore bascket ball shorts and basket ball tank tops with team numbers on them. Her hair was a boys style, she chewed dip, and she worked in the 'receivers team'--yes, that's the name of the work unit she worked it (radio receivers. ).



The most effeminate guy I knew in real life was a gay name Kam who worked at a restaurant I worked in when I was 16.


Right now, the butchest person I know is my cousin. She resembles Elton John. The most effeminate guy I know is is probably a friend of mine, who is straight.

Hello, Morris.

never in my life did i get to see my maternal grandmother in a dress.

nor did she ever have long hair - not even in the old timey days.

in fact, in the 50s and 60s, my grandmother used to wear her hair kinda like roy orbison and she'd often wear dickie coveralls. if she was feeling fancy, she had an outfit that kinda looked like something han solo would wear, only sometimes with a bolo tie.

a few years after my grandfather died, she "softened" a bit in the 80s, got herself a perm, and started wearing crafty teddy bear sweaters like every old lady in the midwest wears. by the time she died she had the look of just about any woman in her age group....but it took her a loooong time to get there.

and she was always very masculine in her mannerisms and behaviors. she smoked marlboro reds, rode a harley, and played steel lap guitar, bless her soul.

Old Timey. Love that

Just today Chris and I had a conversation about how he thought Jo was the only really bangable girl on The Facts Of Life, and how that probably laid the foundation for him to grow up and marry a dyke.

Are you Butch?

Wow. I know some folk in various stages of transitioning who entirely confound this question for me.

Them aside, the most masculine woman I've met was "Laura," an ex-girlfriend of my Lesbian cousin. She always dressed in button-downs, Dockers and penny loafers, had a haircut a bit like James Dean, and had very masculine mannerisms. When she shook your hand, she'd crush every bone in it. And when she sat, her legs went wide open... until she went into that ankle-over-knees leg crossing that many men do.

The most feminine man I know is a friend of mine I've known since Middle School. He dresses butch enough, but his voice, his gait, his obsession with Louis Vuitton bags, his fleeting haircuts... and colors.. and textures... and length are all woman.

I think I can be a very butch chick and I am okay with that.

i have a difficult time pointing out especially effeminate men, because i think threads of masculinity and femininity run on so many different parallel tracks where men are concerned. a guy could pride himself on being a dandy, but at the same time he has very butch tendencies that he doesn't even appreciate in himself; or vice versa, where a guy thinks he's the most macho, "straight acting", masculine thing on earth, but if he sees a mouse he screams like tori spelling and jumps on a chair. maybe it's that the guys who work to be one extreme or another all too often take for granted the little natural mannerisms that betray their choice of drag.

I will hold off on a tirade on gender roles and the negative human implications of culturally-forced sexual dimorphism (loss of unique identity, continuous world war, unnecessarily brutal sexual competition having little to do with genetic health and evolution) to simply say I'm extremely attracted to people who don't fit into conservative male and female boxes.





Though she's hardly the most butch woman on the planet, I've repeatedly announced my perpetual hard-on for k.d. lang. If I found a woman who remotely looked like her, she'd need a restraining order quicker than you can blink.

This is barely on-topic, I just really, really like to look at pictures of my k.d.

You and k.d. can get it.

That's it. I'm just going to get it overwith and tattoo 'PROPERTY OF IVY' on my ass.

I suppose I'm somewhere in the middle.

PunkMistress said:

Jo was my favorite, too. Seemed like the only one who had sense... Of course, my favorite on the old "90210" was that nerd girl whatshername...

I don't think you are feminine at all.

Vendetta1 said:

You've actually met me so that says something.
Next to Ron I'm more so,maybe? I suppose.
But I don't really (seriously) ever think of myself in terms of one or the other (yes, I'm in touch with both). I just think of myself as "just me".

i remember when i was 13 and i was talking with my friend chris about purple rain (theyd shown it the night before to celebrate 20th year anniversary)

and he says in the most campest way ever

''*sigh* how is that man not gay?''

and i laughed because loads of people think hes gay lol

I'm not proud of the fact that I tried to look like Simon LeBon and wound up looking like Nancy McKeon instead.
