Ah. Never heard of chapstick lesbian. Thanks!
Heard of 'lipstick' lesbian.....
Love the new words...
HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What exactly are masculine traits or a masculine attitude? Gender is fluid and at all times we are continually negotiating. The idea that there is a specific was to be masculine is all a matter of social construction.
glad you guys like the new words.
renee - whether we embrace gender stereotypes or reject them the social construction exists. i guess people who would identify as chapstick lesbian embrace those gender dichotomies while choosing to blend them a bit.
I think Ellen commented once on her show that she was and is a chapstick lesbian.
:D
could it be that i am a...
chapstick or-bisexual?
just wondering if i can intermingle these words. ;)
Sure why not heather, these words are always taking on a new meaning and thats the beauty of sexuality and gender it is complex and diverse.
I am an or-queer, and hey I had to make that one up as far as I know.
I love that. It makes me think of my wife--can you be a Chapstick lesbian if you like to wear red lipstick? (Goes so well with Snow White coloring and a Detroit Red Wings jersey!) It's definitely a good descriptive for women like Ellen.
I love all your Words of the Gay, actually. Even if people don't use the words, it helps your readers understand all the colors in the rainbow a little bit better.
