Feminism and Lesbian Art by CherryJ

February, 2002

I went to "Feminism Confronts Disability Conference" at UCLA on 15th UCLA Center for the Study of Women

- Phobia - 16/02/02

I hate to be a lesbian,
a fear of being an objection
of heterosexism.

I hate to be a survivor
of
    incest, after suicide of loved one,
    discrimination against the Asian in the States,
because I am frightened to be included
into those "survivors."

I hate to be being physically and psychologically ill
as I take medication more than three times a day,
    because I don't want to be as I am being.

I don't want to be like someone who I don't want to be.

I don't want to be a part of people alive
and dead,
past

and present.

I do want to exclude all the people who have been stigmatized
as I've been.

I do want to be an individual with an unique set of experiences,
as you are.
