At one point I didn't think it mattered that Z was a 'femaLe in a maLe-dominated field'. My chosen name wasn't 'Miss' anything, and my style, erupting of its own accord, didn't care to identify me as a skirt or trousers. Right? A nonissue, Let's move on. WELL, no, maybe it was more than just a non-issue- somewhere in there was a ripping undercurrent, determined to force it not to matter, an aggravated internal voice whispering sharply, 'Fucking heLL. Get over it already! Let's Level this shit. I know who I am. ALways have. My mama and my mama's mama put in a Lot of years of struggle that I might take my chosen path,unfettered by a stigma about my gender. I don't want your bad rap and I don't want your extra props, 'cause I don't need either. I'LL wreck house one way or another so don't bunk because I'm coming.' Yeah, Ithinkthis about describes her - LiL' Swoon, aged twenty-two, something to prove.
