“The fact that I have chosen to use the pronoun she does not mean I am always comfortable with the word, or that it has ceased to chafe me in certain places. I make this choice for more practical reasons. She fits better than he does, and I am interested in stretching and expanding what the word she can encompass.”
— Ivan E. Coyote, from “Shemanifesto: No Less Transgender”

As for your author, I am Jamie Royce. I am the freethinker of freethinkers. I love outrageous dresses, adoring anything covered in sequins, rhinestones, lace, glitter and feathers. I embody all things masculine and wouldn’t change a thing about by power femme existence. I live by one creed: What would RuPaul do?
