Sexy Femmeboy : My kind of Femininity

July 17 2009
Hi sweeties,
This was my outfit a couple of days ago. It is summer in San Francisco, so I get to wear my cute shorts and feel like a supermodel with my crazy long legs.
Everything is from the (young) women’s unless otherwise stated:
* Shorts vintage (crossroads on market) For boys the choice is how much thigh to show. Thigh is sexy and gender transgressive for american boys, but watch out that the boys don’t beat you up. I would not wear these in some places (tenderloin at night).
Boybeater – $20 at cotton basics, (local store, fantastic color choices )
Jacket vintage velvet girl cut (easy to find, in lot’s of uniforms)
Boy shoes from Tsubo (they no longer make nice boy shoes, Boo hoo)
Beard and thighs, Mine – This is both my raised middle finger to both fashion and my challenge to trans-femme fashion.

b.t.w I may be moving into the Northern California countryside. I wore my shorts in the town of Petaluma, people stared… a lot…. I did not get hate though. More how they would treat someone with a lot of tattoos I think.

Youtube Critiques of Queer Culture

Welcome to a chain of video reactions. This chain began with youtube interview with Julia Serano in New York. 3vil1, a student in Toronto, responded to this by reading a section of Julia Serano’s The Whipping Girl I was spurred into action. I read The Whipping Girl while transitioning and have strong opinion’s about Julia’s gender theory. So you see, a new ecosystem is forming.

Dandy in knickerbockers and tights

I like the composition of this pose. The movement moves in an s-shape.
this is a Dandy look with Knickerbockers and woolen tights from H&M
A purple V-neck form old navy gives the illusion of a vest.

I started sporting facial hair as a genderqueer political statement that feminine does not mean female. I noticed that boys don’t give me shit about tights or eyeliner if I have facial hair. They do not read me as transexual, and I do not get transphobia.
Unfortunately queer girls do not read me as trans either so I am less accepted in that scene as well.
Basically, it seems you have to choose transphobia from the straight guys or guyphobia from the queer girls.

Basically straight guys get upset if I dress sexy in a way that turns them on. It troubles the straight identity. It freaks them out, and leads to all these trans-panic episodes, where guys kill transwomen who have flirted with them.
So, I am in a situation that every girl knows. You have to cover up or the guys will harass you on the street. They can’t be expected to control their lust and passions.
Any guy who presents as a women and experiences sexual harassment will have a feminist awakening. I guarantee it.

Art Murmur – Oakland – 2009

We met at Art Murmer in Oakland. We talked about art for a bit and about my gender activism. I love her tattoo on her leg, it is the alphabet in a retro letter type. There is a casual dissonance as well. The shirt, the skirt and the sandals, nothing even attempts to match.

I just returned from a weekend at Harbin Hotsprings in northern California. It is a post hippie, freak place where I used to study Watsu. It is a fairly tolerant of gender non-conformity. It is the only place I have ever seen anyone with tits and a penis sunbathing naked. That is an edgy form of gender activism. I saw a three or four trans girls while I was there.
It is a nice place to go if you want to push some gender presentation edges in a relaxed supportive environment.
