winter skin

 I am so happy to have Winter Skin up at ROAR - an excellent feminist website. I especially admire their My Abortion project.  It's imperative that we hear women describing their abortions if we are going to have a true understanding of what we are talking about when we talk about abortion  

I made Winter Skin shortly after moving to Pittsburgh, 12 years ago.  Since I was in a new place again, I was thinking a lot about how each community I join finds a way to remind me that I don't totally belong there.  How do you navigate that?  How do you learn to be normal? As a kid, I tried like hell to find the guidebook for being myself.  I learned from magazines. I learned that there was always something I could buy that would help.  I shoplifted lots of make up.  I tried to be whiter, less masculine, less foreign, but never managed to pull it off.  These days, I never expect to be accepted anywhere, so I am never surprised when I'm not.  Still hurts my feelings though.
