Maybe I should add: "plus unable to remember the occasional verb." Also: great title. Er, “I am all of the above” it should have been.

I all of the above: overweight (given prevailing standards), tatooed, of ambiguous gender, and (depending on your taste) the victim of an unfortunate haircut. I DEFINITELY had a mullet in the 1980s. Show me the lesbian alive during that decade who didn't, and I'll eat my dyke cliché baseball hat. My sister pretty much barks up the same tree annually ("Don't those freak show elements of the LGBT community know they're driving nice reasonable folks like me away?"), and I have never gained any traction against that view. I know many of us never will, but it's critical that from within the community we understand that the moment we think it's alright to isolate and disempower some of us to mollify mainstream palates, ALL of us are at risk. Brava, and thank you again. I second Ms Loaf’s THANK YOU.
