you know, people laugh when i say that i am 'butch'

i have a whole diatribe about the uses and definitions of the words "butch" and "femme", which i am not going to spare you.

for those of you that are confused...

it does not refer to how you look.
people like to disagree with me, but they are wrong.
"butch" is not about what sort of flannel shirt you are going to wear today and "femme" is definitely not about high-heeled shoes.

i wear sneakers
that does, by no means, make me an athlete
nor does how pink your undies are make you "butch" or "femme".

i should also mention that i fucking HATE those words.
they make me cringe because people have to oversimplify everything to something as stupid as what sort of haircut you have.
it is about who gets what done.
i have a big mouth
thus i can generally get what i want or need.
im smart and i have a big mouth.
a volatile, if not damned near explosive combo.

i stand up for myself and i do my best to stand up for other people
i dont care what names get thrown...
my father used to tell me, when i would complain about kids name calling:

"if people called you a duck all day long,
it would still not make you a duck.
ignore them.
and if they still dont shut up,
pick up the biggest rock you can find."
