- Ailsa, the only thing that gets me worried after your first post in
- this thread, is the fear that we are going to lose your voice to
- soc.bi. I think there is no way a human being could cope with reading
- the volume of both newsgroups.
-
- So you sleep with men. So do I.
-
- No. Putting it like that is too simplistic and trivializes what you are
- going through.
-
- Ok, let's say something else, then.
-
- - I love your voice here.
-
- - Queer is a state of persona, not just of sexual identity.
-
- - I can empathize to what you are going through, it must be very hard
- to be so entrenched as we are made by a culture that regards us as
- freaks, build up pride based on that, and then feel like you `have to
- go back' to straight society and leave the people you have built our
- pride with.
-
- But that is not what is happening here, amiga. You are finding - or is
- it rediscovering? - new parts to yourself. Enjoy the discovery.
- Personally, I don't consider you to be less a lesbian, just more
- straight.
-
- - And it really shouldn't matter.
- FJ!!
