I'm Female

Number Two today:

You know somethin’ cool happened to me this weekend.

There’s this girl … let’s call her … M. Well, M is hot. I mean really. Dark hair, dark eyes, taller than me. Just butch enough. Sexy. Very confident and intelligent. Biology teacher but not an ounce of geek in her. She’s also very happily partnered and has 4 (yes 4)kids with T. Who actually wants another baby but that’s a whole other story. Anyway, she’s partnered.

And she flirted with me all weekend. J In an innocent sort of way – no overtly sexual undertones to make me uncomfortable. Just enough to make me know that she appreciated my girlness. She finds me attractive. It was lovely.

Then, I overheard someone describing me to someone else. The first someone didn’t know I was there to hear. She said, “Oh. She’s –all- girl. Yep. Definitely a girl.” She was blushing. It was sweet. It’s been quite some time since anyone has noticed that I’m female in that sort of way. At least anyone that I’d want to notice … no, actually, anyone whether I want them to or not. So, twice in one weekend was nice. Very nice. I think I need to get back out into the world of lesbians … it’s nice to be appreciated as female, you know?
