Well technically the revolution started last night when my love and I completed our first insemination with fresh sperm. That's right friends, this morning as I write this there's 5cc's of sperm swimming inside me that will hopefully result in a strong, healthy pregnancy. This blog is for me to start writing about this process of becoming a queer femme mom, and to connect with other people who can feel me on this. I have a lot of fear inside me about being read as straight through this process, about femme invisibility and what that does to my spirit. This blog is also to keep in touch with my friends, my chosen family, so the people I hold close in my heart can know what the process of trying to get pregnant (and hopefully being pregnant) is like for me.
And I say revolution because adding to our queer and gender queer family in such a homophobic/transphobic society feels revolutionary. Refusing to allow other people to have a say in who my family is feels revolutionary. Creating a family out of this sweet, sweet love J and I have feels like a revolutionary act. And so, the revolution starts today.
