Heartbreaking Loss
March 8, 2006 – 3:10 pmGender Immigrant wrote a beautiful post in response to my post about losses and departures.
Of the many losses she describes, this one broke my heart, and breaks it everytime I hear it:
When I’m alone at night I never feel as safe as I did before
Alas, will we ever live in a time when women live free from this constant, degrading, demoralizing fear?
Call me the poster child for all folks feminine. I think feminine folks rock and have much to teach us about how to live with dignity in the context of societies that wish to annihilate all things female, feminine, girly.

the safety issue is so entrenched in my psyche, it didn’t even occur to me to include it in the list of things i’ve lost. it’s like it’s always been there, so much so, that i no longer think about it as something i never used to think about. it’s just become a part of me.
and by the way jay, i think you’re the poster child for all folks - feminine or not. you rock!
