“A.T. has given us peeks into Alma’s life before, into a world of trans House culture and NYC street life … and now P&P readers get a first look at a brilliantly realized work of art. If you haven’t met Alma, please dive in.” - James Finn, Columnist for the L.A. Blade, Editor of Prism & Pen

A serialized short story excerpted from “The Life Of Alma: 1992″ told from the POV of an Afro-Latina transwoman navigating life, house-culture, love, and survival in New York City in the early 90s.

Support minority artists writing minority character driven work! ✨💖✨ Plz share if you can! You can also find an unbroken version of this excerpt on my blog: Metallically Black

Important takeaways include:

Nobody actually knows the origin of butch.

Butches were harassed out of visibility by some of the early lesbian orgs.

'Butch' first became widespread in working-class lesbian bars.

Butch has, however, always been a term used by gay men, lesbians, and trans people. It has never been a 'lesbian-only' term.

Prior to the emergence of butch, other terms included Daddy, Husband, and Top Sgt. (which frankly I kinda wanna bring back)

This is a really good primer on butch as a term & despite queer history being a literal special interest of mine, I learned things! Take a few minutes and watch it.

80s American drag ball culture is so fascinating and cool to me from a social and historical standpoint. A while back, I watched this documentary called Paris is Burning which was released in 1990, and I am low key obsessed with it. Like, all these people were rejected by their families and society, and they often had no place to go or no one to support them. So they all ended up banding together to create chosen families. And due to general society's lack of acceptance of their forms of self expression, they decided to create a safespace that allowed them to reject these particular social norms and be themselves. This eventually evolved into a complex culture with traditions and styles of dress and language and social interactions and stuff. It's really beautiful, in a way. I have recently started getting into anthropology since it became one of my require courses, and ballroom culture is a goldmine to me.

I've actually started using it as inspiration for the world of one of my stories. It's just so real and alive and interesting, and it should be appreciated more.

Drag =/= ballroom !

#idk how to articulate this with the proper terminology but. i dont think ballroom is a space white people should be comfortable in no matter #how qweer you are. that is a black+brown space built on the beauty of being black+brown+trans+gay.#voguing is one thing but walking categories is another #do u think i wanna see some soho white bitch walk the face category ? what?#even asian people i have a hard time feeling comfortable witb participating and im wasian LMFAO i just #drag is an artform ballroom is a community defined by its players #and i for one do not want to see ballroom become white. because then it wouldnt be ballroom #im talking to other white ppl rn .

thinking abt the fact im in this mutual circle of like. so many people idek the number. but it has to be around a hundred at least like even if im not personally mutuals with them its crazy like a big friend circle irl would be about ten people or so because thats who you can find but i have people i love and who love each other literally across the whole world. it makes me a bit emotional to think about honestly

#why cant we have a big party with everyone. i want to see you irl i want to give you a hug i need to see how many we are in person because #its hard to even fathom on here. like i lose track!!! we could literally fill a ballroom its insane!!!!!!#anyways. i love you guys soooo so much i love our little community on here <333333

even if homestuck had no moral qualms or bigotry to be reckoned with, a webcomic from the 2010s is not outpacing paris is burning in any contest of queer media. i straight up cannot imagine the gay community without the influence of ballroom

#PIB may not BE ballroom but it's almost certainly the biggest mainstream introduction to it #and it chronicles such a unique and important cultural/temporal touchpoint of the community in so many ways
