The following year, as I was grappling with my gender identity these incidents came back to me. After all, most people assumed I was butch-identified and in the baggy clothes I wore to cover my female body I certainly fit the stereotype. But, a butch man who loves pink? A butch man who shakes his ass as he dances alone in his room and practices a mincing step when no one can see him? Even I couldn't get my head around that. I briefly tried to be a femme, believing my mincing and ass-shaking meant I wanted to let my femininity out. I did. But I wanted to rock it with tight jeans, muscle-Ts, and grinding with the boys on the dance floor. I wanted to shake it in the men's room.
