#50 Sam Occupies Wall Street

Robin, a femme, traveled from Brooklyn to Manhattan to visit her queer daughter at the Occupy Wall Street protest.  She says,

"Today at the Occupy Wall Street protest I met Sam. Sam said she identifies as a butch 'depending on the day.' She had really beautiful tattoos. Sam came to Liberty Park today to join in the protests because she's one of the "99%" as protesters refer to ourselves (that is, the 99% who will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%)."

  3. Tyler, one easy way to understand the legitimacy of terms such as "butch" or "queer" is to go to your local library and look them up as a word search in the catalogue. You will find books ranging from history to cultural anthropology to novels to memoirs to high theory with these terms in their titles.
