Hey everyone I was just listening to this song today on the radio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-UwSmknLRI and I was wondering what the lyrics were all about.
Now- maybe I have a twisted mind, and I have no reason for believing Fyfe Dangerfield actually meant it this way, but it made me think of people on this forum: crossdressers, transgendered, genderqueer, people who experiment with feminine identities or challenge the concepts of masculinity/femininity altogether. People who have a hard time being recognised as "feminine" or as "women". And also about their loved-ones who accept and support them; so I thought I'd share this with all of you very special people here
I think it kind of fits; do you?
A song for us :):):)

Gender is not something that one is, it is something one does, an act… a "doing" rather than a "being". (Judith Butler)

It was a love song that Billy wrote for his then wife, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth had taken over management of Billy's career, and was able to put his financial affairs in order after Billy had signed some bad deals and contracts. She was a tough and savvy negotiator who could "wound with her eyes" or "steal like a thief," but would "never give in."
Because of her tough-as-nails negotiating style, many business adversaries thought she was "unfeminine," but to Billy, she was always a woman.

I really enjoy listening to one by Mary Chapin Carpenter
This song was in my head for months before I finally found out who did it and I bought the CD! It is called "Girls Like Me"!
I found it by watching many different CDs in their wonderful outfits and settings, then I found one in Canada, OhHolly was so captivating I was hooked. Find it and listen on youtube, see what you think! The song is another one for us as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK7bVccSFz4
