Ha, its strange when you're exoticized by a straight lady versus a straight guy. I always hesitate to react when I get that, even though it happens often, because it always catches me off guard.
Y'know, I love me some Beth Ditto, but it sucks when someone who isn't the most well-spoken person on earth is given a platform like this. I feel like that comment would fly in conversation (I've definitely made similar comments about my dancergay roommate who exclaims "isn't she so BEAUTIFUL?!" every time he sees a dangerously underweight woman over 5'8"), but shes gotta stop letting whatever pops into her mind fly out if she's going to allow mainstream magazines to crown her spokesperson for queer women and fat people. I think I'll forgive her if she makes a public apology.
i know, totally strange. i guess in the same night she said that to me, she tongue kissed another one of her straight girl friends at a party-- if the guy would have done that the wedding would have been off, or at least they wouldnt be telling "The Lesbians" about it. wtf?!
I also agree with you about B.D. and i probably already forgive her because it is such a big platform she has, ie pro-homo, pro-fat, pretty rad girl.
it just sucks when you think all queers should be pals, but in reality we probably have more phobias about eachother then we do with hetros.
anyways, i hope we can hang out when i move back in aug.
Oh god- thats the best. It reminds me of when my manager (who knows I'm trans) told me: "Oh, you and my fiance would get along great. Shes so cool, whenever we're out she sees a girl she thinks is totally hot, she'll say so." Yeah.... Why faux-bisexual married straight ladies and transdudes should automatically hit it off, I have no idea.

beth ditto, "If there's anyone to blame for size zero,
it's not women. Blame gay men who work in the fashion industry and want
these women as dolls."
