So, after my short-lived love affair, I've returned to the mental musings of a lezzie.  I guess that just means my primary orientation is lezzie?  I don't know, whatever...
So, on Saturday a couple of my very bestest (lezzie) friends came to the milonga.  (Since all my Pre-Tango friends have dropped off my social spectrum, I've realized I have to import them!)  Now, these are the friends from this post, the ones that I always feel comfortable with, the ones that I can cry or scream or laugh or just simply be with.  But it was a bit weird for me.
Here's why. 
When I tango, it's a different side of me.  The me that is completely feminine.  (I didn't realize I am so compartmentalized....think I need to work on integration?)  And with these friends, well....we are part of a drag king troupe.  We spend our free time as male impersonators.  It was weird to have the two worlds come crashing together.  I had a few moments of feeling very exposed when I was embraced by one of my tango crushes....because I love being in his arms so much.  (For the record, this is totally my own insecurity--these friends would love me even if I grew 6 heads.  In fact, they'd love me 6x as much.)
This is so weird to me, friends.  I am so confused about where I am on the spectrum right now.  Now that I'm settled with being attracted to men as well as women, I think it's time to sort out what to do with all these facets of masculine and feminine.
I like that I can work on my car and then dress in sexy clothes and dance.  But maybe there's a way to integrate those sides without it being so drastic. 
Less drama, more flow...

hmmm... are you attracted to men or are you attracted to the tango connection?
I'm attracted to a person's personality initially...but if we're talking mere physical attraction, I always gravitate to women. But usually I know people first, then develop an attraction.
So, when I've been in relationships with men, I've definitely been attracted to them.
And, I don't feel the same connection with women when I dance with them.
