Too Early on a Saturday Morning
I just don’t know anymore…

Re “Playing our parts in ‘genderfuck’†(op-ed by Meredith Stepp, July 15):
Jennifer Vanasco’s article (“The death of femme,†op-ed, June 17) was the first time I’ve heard anyone express my own feelings about the disappearance of femmes. I am a high femme and very lesbian, and have now started to feel animosity from butch or tomboy lesbians because I’m not fitting the mold. I’ve been told that I’m stuck in the hetero world and that I’m not being myself. I feel quite the contrary. Maybe they’re dealing with their own lack of confidence for having fallen into what the stereotypical lesbian should look like. I feel free to wear make-up, grow my long hair, wear fake nails, and my butch loves it all. I disagree with Meredith Stepp; Vanasco wasn’t saying femmes were weak and butches were strong. In most cases, you find the opposite. Although I look dainty, I’m a butch top in relationships and in the bed. Maybe we should all stop basing judgments on the labels we give people. What happened to unconditional acceptance of all that is supposed to be our end goal?
If you’re a high femme and a butch top, can you have a butch-femme relationship with yourself?
