I can not submit a picture as I don't have any lips. I am like a Mr Potato Head. I can't even draw any on. My feet have more lips than my face.

Ok so I'm here at the hospital with a dear friend. Her appearance is that of a heteronormative woman. My appearance is that of a gender non-conforming butch woman. Here are my thoughts for discussion:

Isn't it interesting that her "straight appearance" (she is straight) never is enough to make anyone think that i am straight too? Why do I magically lesbianize whomever I'm walking next to?

When the staff refer to her as my partner, do i say "We are not a couple. Lesbians can have straight friends." Or should I let people practice what it's like to be around people they perceive as gay?

Also: Hospital gowns are non-gendered garments. How is it that she looks so different then I do when I've had to wear them recently? Amazing. She looks good!

I am extremely tempted to say something smart arse and sexual as a response. But look how polite I'm getting since I left the UK...

Say it. I dare you.

I personally am happy that people don't ever seem to assume I am straight. I am a walking stereotype, lol, but it does suit me. I have been out with straight woman friends where people assumed we were a couple and also femme friends as well.

I think the hospital staff is trying to be considerate of a lesbian couple, even though you aren't one. Much better than kicking you out.

But yes, it is interesting...

Why do you think that happens? I don't get it. But some Femmes I've dated really liked being outed by my appearance.

Also, Medical hospital workers have been very nice to me, about my gender stuff and nice to my various girlfriends.

Sure, I'd be glad to get out my wand, to show you the ropes.

Wands and ropes. Lezboism sounds very interesting. Do we wear the hospital gowns?
Or is that just one person?
