Persistence: All Ways Butch & Femme
Ivan Coyote - Speaker - BUTCH Voices Conference (2009) - Persistence Co-Editor
This review was written by Andrea Zanin.
Appeared originally: Xtra! Canada’s Gay and Lesbian News.
“The Vancouver-based couple was inspired by Sharman’s reflections and research on femme invisibility and Coyote’s attendance at the summer 2009 Butch Voices conference. Another major factor was the strong reader response to Coyote’s pieces “A Butch Roadmap” and “Hats Off to Beautiful Femmes,” columns published by Xtra in July of 2009.
