a queer symbol, a pagan symbol

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007 · 6 Comments


I have returned from Seattle, and there is much to write about. Most of my closest friends in Seattle are very masculine-identified, some of them have transitioned, and I have returned with some new ideas about butches, masculinity, transfolks, my own body, my own sense of self.Also, I got a tattoo. That white star on the underside of my right wrist that I’ve been talking about for a long time. It’s visible especially when shaking someone’s hand. I love it.

I still want the birds. They’ll be next.

The Sugarbutch Star contest is so close to done, I can practically taste it. I’ll have a roundup post coming, with excerpts from each entry and links to the full thing, to remind you of them, before we start voting. I’m hoping to to a reading (”Sinclair’s” first real appearance) of the finalists and announce the winner.

    the star is lovely, tasteful.

    I love it! Glad you went for it. It’s subtle yet loud and also quite sexy.
