I was really moved by the clarity of the writing of this piece as you described your process. Then your words lingered and got under my skin, making me yearn for my feminine side and I thought maybe there's a reason I lost my suitcase with my latest, hand-created butch outfit I made for the exhibit opening. This thought carried into my next creation for today's 10/10 = XX twitter campaign and a new outfit was born inspired by Isadora Duncan. https://twitter.com/AmandaKovattana/status/1711758899320369311
Maybe there is a collaboration in our future, with other fashionistas such as our friend Exulansic, to give a workshop at next WDI conference, on how women can use their image to enhance spell casting (their message) as in the old use of the term glamour, as in the glamouring of the witch. I first learned of this idea in the book, Mists of Avalon, but others have written of it since.
From a man who values the beauty women bring to the world, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for reclaiming your femininity and womanhood.
I pray your story of eventual revelation and re-birth resonates, with the young girl under constant attack today, to deny their unique and irreplaceable femininity.
I was at the WDI conference and I found your honesty and maturity so refreshing. I hope you continue to define your own sense of womanhood on your own terms, with your own unique sense of style and funkiness.
It brings tears to my eyes (of joy!) following your awakening of embracing that being a woman (and having the choice to display femininity) is not being locked into an oppressive biological destiny, as some would have us believe, but a wonderful set of opportunities and privileges. Enjoy!

You looked maaaahvelous, too!
Life is life that - a constant evolution of who and what we think we are.
So very well done lady!!

This resonates beyond the gender conversation more than you can imagine. Thank you for writing it. <3

You look lovely, Laura! I hope you have fun experimenting with the more feminine side of fashion!
I love that beaded black and blue dress on you!

You are gorgeous in every way!

Dress therapy is a real thing!
