En mis inicios con el cancer, lo desconocido, el miedo se apoderó de mí. Acudí al lazo rosa (olé por todo el trabajo que hacen y el apoyo que me ofrecieron) pero era extraño, ajeno a mí. Yo marimacho, butch, trans....buscando empoderarme, buscando referentes. Encontré mujeres que se reunian para hablar de sus pelucas, de sus familias, de su feminidad, de las clases de pintura ......de un cotidiano "normal" que no era el mio!!!! con quien podía compartir mi normalidad, mi masculinidad, mi busqueda de herramientas internas, mis redes....?????
En este blog quiero plasmar mis experiencias y las de otras butch !!! nuestros aprendizajes y encaramiento al sistema heteronormativo a traves del cancer!!!

The
Starting Point
I start
this blog today, hoping others will take part too. A blog on cancer
pornography, the full nakedness of a shared experience. Beyond the pink ribbon,
however, and far away from the heteronormative framework. In a place where the
patterns of acceptable behaviour don’t operate. To empower oneself, to resist
from an--other place.
In my beginnings with cancer, the unknown, fear took hold of me. I turned to the pink ribbon (fair dues for all their work and the support they gave me) but it felt weird, foreign to me. Marimacho me, butch, trans me… looking for empowerment, looking for referents. I found women meeting up to discuss their wigs, their families, their femininity, their make-up lessons… their ‘normal’ routines which had nothing to do with mine!!!! Was there anyone out there with whom to share my own normality, my masculinity, my search for inner tools, my networks… ?????

In this
blog I want to record my experiences and those of other butch women !!! our
learning curves and our challenging of heteronormativity through cancer!!!
