“What’s the point of being lesbian if a woman is going to look and act like an imitation man?”
Rita Mae Brown

I keep seeing something and it’s disturbing me. In fact it’s like a twisted version of the Women’s Rights movement. They may not want that association though. Anyway when I was in high school and into the early twenty double aught years (prospecters are cool) there were a multitude of very flashy gay men. I remember at my school there was like the (I can’t resist the rhyme scheme) Queer of the Year. Meaning every year a certain gay dude would be really popular based on the graduation of the last one. Well one of these cats on Halloween came dressed as a woman and was fooling ALOT of dudes. As a matter of fact we had fun at lunch that day checking to see which dudes were peeping him out like he was girl who had just transferred to our school. We even saw one dude try and talk to him. So from then on it seemed there was always a cross dressing gay dude some where in the city. Especially the infamous areas in Mt. Vernon…brrrrrrrrr. Now I don’t see as much of that, what I do see is a whole bunch of gay chicks with sports bras and wife beaters. The sports bra wouldn’t be so bad, but they only wear them to try and hide their breasts. I did get faked out one day, then I realized that dude was too skinny to have any fat on his chest. So today I come before you to say…what the hell?!?! Are gay women trying to catch up with gay men. Though it wasn’t easy I came to accept that every now and then I might see some dude dressed like a common ghetto whore. Now I keep seeing girls dressed like your average thug. Baseball hat, wifebeater (over sports bra) shorts and clean kicks. I swear this needs to stop. One of these girls ends up in the wrong place they could get popped. I remember my man talking about getting into a beef with one and I was thinking does she really want to be treated like a man in this situation? I’m all manners and etiquette, My momma, raised me good…but beyond a certain point it falls on me to treat you how you want to be treated. Since for some reason these chicks aren’t just happy looking like a man they want to act like them too. The problem there is they don’t really pick decent men, they pick the type of men that only understand losing teeth. The important thing to remember is…YOU ARE A WOMAN. No matter how you dress, talk or act. This is a P.S.A. Don’t get your ass whooped by mistake. I will feel bad, but that won’t help you in the moment. Be gay. That’s fine…but don’t forget what you are. You are not a man…you are a gay woman. Thank you and good day.
