9 Black butch lesbians share their stories in The Butch Mystique (2003)
Now I start over, and rebuild, and confront fear and learn to drive alone and figure out how to secure Eli in the loft so I can still snuggle with him at night. Now I have to hang the art I’ve collected from friends over the years, find a place for my autographed Eileen Myles books, and learn to do yoga. Now I need to meet all the versions of myself hiding in this city and make friends with every single one of them.

-The fact that I thought it was preposterous that my girl would abandon her lifelong crush on Jodie Foster simply because it was rumored that Jodie cheated on her partner.
