Drabble Theatre: Not Fair

Not Fair
by Edeyn Hannah Blackeney


Tears rolled as I threw rocks into the lake. There was no point... entire thing was just... unfair.

I heard soft rustling grass of someone approaching behind where I sat. Probably her.

"Whaddya want?"

She sighed -- yes, it was her -- and came around the bench to sit next to me.

After a moment she reached out with a finger under my chin and tilted my head up, softly brushing away my tears with the other hand... "Is it so bad?"

"But... we're supposed to be lesbians -- girl power and all that -- how can we do that if we're both boys?"

Hope she recovers

Funny but sad. Hope this drabble's narrator recovers from this grim little moment of self doubt,
letting herself be defined by cruel physiology. Hope her girlfriend has a good answer for her.
("We're like AVIS, we try harder" springs to mind but it's a rather dated referrence...)

My thoughts (ramblings :-P)

I've been going back and forth on this subject for ... well, pretty much since I've been a member. It's not that I have someone like the pair mentioned or anything, so much as that it's something that I simply never thought about. As I learn to accept who I am though, part of that has been coming to terms with not just being transgendered, but also lesbian.

The answer that I've come to is that I know what I find attractive in a woman, and I know the difference between a real woman and a feminine man (not even taking into account his sexual preference, if any). There are so many little, subtle differences between the two that add up to one big picture, you know? I just simply do not find men attractive on a physical, intellectual, or spiritual level, and frankly, find them repulsive, but I can't say that I wouldn't be attracted to a woman who was born with the wrong body either. :-)

It's never happened 'yet', but the few t-folk I have met who are genuinely TG/TS/Whatever and not "just" feminine guys (as I said, there is a difference) I've found to be enjoyable company and reliable friends that I never once saw as anything but who they are, that I could probably have fallen for if there were more chemistry between us, or if either of us were looking for something more.

I can't explain it, really. I could give examples, but I don't want to violate anyone's trust, past or present, so I'll just leave it at that and shut up now before I really start to ramble. Just my far-more-than-two-cents on the subject. :-)

Thanks for posting this, Edeyn. :-)
