Open Letter: Dear Femme

[Apocalipstic]

Thank you powerful, strong, brave Sisters and Allies.

Thank you for speaking your truth.

My truth?

Has involved pretty pink font and pink avatars which make me smile and somehow rise above the sometimes shattering pain of daily existence. (I stopped with the pink font so people would read my posts, yes it made me sad, and yes I see that stopping to please others makes me a co-dependent pleaser )

Sees that no one is better than anyone else in terms of class or gender or race or education.

Knows that insisting on living in a kind and harmonious way is not weak.

Speaks her mind firmly and directly when something is important.

Refuses to spend time on revenge and anger.

Tries to consistently speak to issues she finds important even if people would rather her be silent.

Loves who she loves.

I really resonate with what so many of you have to say. e, Arwen, Adele, Julieis, Diva, June. In so many ways you are my heroes.

I admit that meanness frightens and freezes me. I never thought of it as bowing out to masculinity.

more later.
