Briefly, About Mainely Butch

Existing Outside the Gender Binary

My world may not be “normal” but it sure is interesting!  I’m a funny, laid-back  Butch lesbian living in southern Maine.  I am an avid reader, writer and a very serious thinker.  My ADD causes me to jump from topic to topic on occasion, so bear with me!  I am a US Army Veteran, raised in the 1960′ & 70’s in a small town in southern Maine…and sometimes in upstate New York!  Fighting to find my place in this world I wandered with the aid of the US Army, crazy illicit drug and alcohol use and some good motor cycles.   It’s a miracle I survived – although I didn’t get out clean. Today I live with HIV as a result of my club kid days.  Today I live life managing my medications, staying healthy and watching the world continually change before my very eyes at an incredibly increased pace!  I enjoy social media, blogging, and vlogging on current issues in tihe LGBT community, gender, equality, labels, politics and daily frustrations of being Butch and living with HIV.
