Rahne Alexander: Natural Bridges |
 |
|
I traced a thin line with my fingernail up her neck. She craned
backwards, just out of my reach and said Not lately. She resumed her rightful position. You're awful bold for such a pretty girl, she said.
Well, I said, I know what I want and I know how to get it. |

Rahne Alexander: All This, And Brains Too |
|
| Perhaps Jaggar was reducing me to a curvy mimic in pigtails, aping
the non-natural fashion of natural women. The rest of the world
-- friends, lovers, employers, customers, the creeps who cat-call
me from their cars, and, most importantly, me -- sees me as female.
I get girl jobs at girl pay, where my girl opinions are ignored
and my girl appearance is my chief asset. Feminism still has a
lot of work to do. |

Rahne Alexander: Girl Talk |
|
| This autogynephilia concept was borne out of an effort to understand
why a person would want to become a woman, especially when she faces
opponents like genetics, hormones, the pink collar and the U.S.
Passport system. To willingly become a woman is illogical and
inexplicable when phallusphilia reigns supreme. Suddenly I'm slapping
my head and wishing I had a V-8. |

Rahne Alexander: bullet riddles |
|
| nebraska 1993 + john lotter and thomas nissen appointed themselves
sphinx to traveller brandon teena + their riddle: "what are you?"
+ brandon had to know that there was a price to be paid regardless
of whether he answered "boy" or "girl" + since neither answer
could satisfy this sphinx, brandon was killed + since sphinxes
never share their answers, we may never know what answer would
have been satisfactory to save him. |

12.07.06: Scarlet Letters -- in case it isn't glaringly obvious -- is currently
on an extended hiatus. The web has changed, we've changed, and
we're trying to figure out how we both fit together now, which isn't a process we want to rush.
In the meantime, by all means, enjoy our years of past content,
all of which still remain in the public and subscription areas.
If you're looking for more current SL-related content, you can
have check out upcoming books from editor Heather Corinna and previous co-editor Hanne Blank, check out Heather's current sexuality sites, or explore sites through the femmerotic network. We hope to be back with you soon, as fresh, challenging and
unexpected as ever.
