Feminine vs. Female
See more » Ambiguously Gendered
I’ve been thinking about my enthusiasm for the feminine.
For my ear there is a direct link between the voices of Diana Ross, Kylie Minogue and pretty boys. Girl groups produces the same blissful tingle as a boy whose gestures are graceful and emphatic.
But with gentic women my imagination goes down a different road. I remember my strong crush on the voice of June Christie. And the strong sexual power I feel in Anita O’Day singing.
The feminine allows me to offer my hand in support. The female may be the strong half of the equation.
With the boy in the dress I can be sexist.
The woman in pants wouldn’t tolerate that.

Gender is really fun to play with, isn’t it? It’s amazing how much stuff about gender there is inside of my head.

Yes. I love all the permutations. I feel like I can say contradictory things but in no instance would I be not telling the truth.
