Butch Is A Noun by S. Bear Bergman: a haiku review



I know what butch is.
It is a noun; this book told
me so. It is true.

Butch is a profound
identity - no limits,
no rules, nothing's fixed.

Gender outlaws, you
have found the book you must read
(after Bornstein's works).

My favorite parts
are those which flatter femmes (of
course), making me blush.

Also made me blush?
The sexy parts. Whoa nellie.
Erotica bliss.

You will feel like you've
known Bear all your life & ze
"bears" hir soul to you.

I met Bear & ze
was the sweetest Jewish geek
butch I've ever known.

Butches, femmes, trans folks,
& friends of the above should
all savor this tome.
