Profile: Renée

Renee

You can call me… Renée.

I identify as… Recently as queer, before that as lesbian, and before I began grade school and had to give up superman boy’s briefs I was Ken, just one of the boys.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … I don’t really have a preference… before third grade I would have preferred masculine pronouns, but these days I mostly elicit female ones. It makes no difference to me.

I’m attracted to… Queerness. I love femmes who are strong, confident, and outgoing. I adore butch/androgynes who are soft-spoken, sensitive, and gentle. Trans-men, femme men, feminine women with masculine qualities, androgynous women with feminine qualities. Contradiction makes me wet. Witty humour. Intelligence.

When people talk about me, I want them to… refrain from shifting nervously in their seats.

I want people to understand… there is no ‘natural’ sexuality. What is between your legs shouldn’t set the limits for what you feel in your heart.

    me, too. Do you ever play 12 string?

    Renee replied:

    Thank you both, that means a lot.

    Unfortunately I hardly play the 6-string, me and my friend were just having fun with a camera and I picked up my mostly un-used guitar, and it looked cool. I stuck with guitar for a solid year and a half and then slowly got away from it, regretfully :-(

    Jessica replied:

    When I turned 50, I decided to follow my sister’s example. She decided that it was unacceptable for her to speak just one language, so she learned to be fluent in Spanish. I decided that it was unacceptable for me not to play an instrument, at least well enough for my own amusement, so I got a guitar (actually two of hem) and started playing (again). I took lessons as child, but that was a long time. Real music heals the soul.
