so if i want to drink alone dressed like a pirate
or look like a dyke
or wear high heels and lipstick
or hide in a convent
or try to be mayor
or marry a writer
smoke crack and slash tires
make jokes you don’t like
or paint ducks and retire
YOU CAN BET YOUR BLACK ASS THAT I’M GOING TO
[shouted] That’s right, bitchez!

I … what … she just … NO.
Huh. That’s the first time she’s managed to appropriate me (a queer person), rather than my friends (POC, PWD, etc.)
I don’t think you get to use that one, AFP. I’m pretty sure “dyke” is just for, you know, dykes to reclaim. Women who live that every day. Not women who “look like” them, when they choose to, when they’re not endangered by it.
And holy fuck does it bother me to have to write that— both the word and the explanation. I didn’t think I could get angrier at AFP, but then it got personal. How did you folks at FWD possibly survive Evelyn Evelyn?!
