A Love Story: Redefining Masculinity in the Queer Community - Tagg Magazine

It all starts by having tough conversations and redefining masculinity and femininity in the same ways that we redefined love - by making it really queer.

I was recently approached by an attractive queer, masculine of center person while doing work in a coffee shop near my office. Despite being engrossed in my work, I chatted with them briefly before ending the conversation. Then, this person asked me for a date, and while I was not interested in their energy, I like when other people take initiative. I thanked them and politely declined. They persisted and I declined again – this time less politely. They then intimidatingly stood over me, as they aggressively verbally attacked me, devaluing everything about me from my physical appearance to my worth as a human, before storming away.

A few days later, I bumped into this person again while on my way to work. Before I’d even had the chance to eat breakfast, I was called a bitch and reminded that to them, and to most of society, my value as a feminine-presenting person was directly correlated to my ability and/or willingness to uphold the masculine ego as defined within a patriarchal system.

This isn’t the first time that something like this has happened to me within the queer community.

A Resolution: To Write and Send More Love Notes - Tagg Magazine

New Year’s Resolutions are shit. Time is a fallacy. Dedicate […]

During one of my infrequent snaps of organization when I mustered seven minutes of energy to clean my apartment, I discovered, among things I should have already thrown away, a love note. A note from a lover I haven’t seen or spoken to in years. She had written it for Valentine’s Day and it probably accompanied some toy or tickets.

I didn’t read the entire note, but I read enough to know how it had kept its place for two years and counting through past fits of spring cleaning, rediscovered and then forgotten again underneath cables, keyboards, and mini-staplers in a junk draw.
