IS THERE SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO TELL ME, SPARROW? ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT ORGANZA IS BACK?
NO, JUST LENDING HIM A TIE. THOUGH HE IS KIND OF HOT.
OH MY GOD! I BET MY MOM DID THIS! EVER SINCE I CAME OUT TO HER ABOUT STUART, SHE THINKS IT MEANS I'M STRAIGHT, SHE CAN'T UNDERSTAND THAT I'M A BISEXUAL LESBIAN!
HE REMINDS ME OF SOMEONE... WHATSERNAME... YOU KNOW, THAT BUFF BABE, YOUR MECHANIC?
GERALDINE, EXACTLY. ONLY NOW HE'S A BUFF TRANS GUY, AND HIS NAME'S JERRY

I THINK I'M
A BUTCH LESBIAN IN A STRAIGHT MAN'S BODY.
CHANGING YOUR BODY TO CONFORM TO A RIGID, CONVENTIONAL GENDER IDENTITY IS JUST MORE BINARY THINKING! WHAT WAS WRONG WITH BEING A BUTCH DYKE?
SOFT BUTCH. MAYBE.
IT'S NOT AS SIMPLE FOR EVERYONE AS IT IS FOR YOU. GINGER! SOMETIMES PEOPLE CHANGE. IDENTITY IS SO MUCH MORE COMPLEX AND FLUID THAN THESE RIGID LITTLE CATEGORIES OF STRAIGHT, GAY, AND BI CAN POSSIBLY REFLECT.
