Profile: Zed
You can call me… Zed. I used to be “Z” but it turns out they can’t say “Z” in the UK.
I identify as… I don’t identify as anything. People make assumptions that I’m female and as far as what it says on my birth certificate, that’s correct. But I really really do NOT CARE.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … Whatever you like to use. Again, I could not care less.
I’m attracted to… Soft/punk rock butches. Not too hardcore into the leather but some leather is nice!
When people talk about me, I want them to… talk about how “cool” I am, what a neat-o person, how interesting I am. Not the fact that I’m a dyke or don’t shave my legs. That stuff is so… unimportant.
I want people to understand… I am what I am. I went through hell in life being a lesbian. I don’t need to define myself, I don’t need to worry about what people think. I am. I just am. I really don’t need further anguish about my sexuality, nor do I need to explain why I, a woman, wear men’s clothes. They’re comfortable. They cost less. They’re what I love to wear. Does that make me weird? Why?
