- I lived openly as a dyke for more than 20 years and no number of shots [of testosterone] ... will ever change my history. Nor do I have any interest in that happening....I've been without my lesbian ID card for several years now, but I can't really call myself straight either. I really have no concept of "straight" as a life experience ... so "heteroqueer" seems to fit best, or "I'm a guy who likes girls who like 'special' guys."
