Card Carrying Lesbian … What's in your wallet?
The raw, unedited adventures of a femme lesbian and her friends.
OMG …. I am …. in love.
I found this video on my friend Sarah’s myspace page and it literally had me laughing out loud at parts and crying at others.
THIS is why I love butches.
Please watch the amazingly HOT, Ivan Coyote.

And this is why we love you, Sasha. Because just like Ivan pointed out, through your eyes, we can see ourselves the way we want to be. Wanted and appreciated and loved.
Thank god for women like you.
I’m kind of new to this whole thing and have always avoided calling myself butch. Because it has a negative connotation to it. But since i’ve been reading your blog, Sasha you’ve really changed my mind on the term and as time goes on I realize that I am butch and that’s ok and it’s something to be proud of.
I just wanted to thank you, Sasha for being such an outspoken, gorgeous femme that loves us butchies!!! It’s all for ladies like you
I’ve been reading your blog for a while now but never commented. That video was beautiful, thanks.
This made me cry too. Thank you for posting it. I will def be following Ivan from now on! I’m hooked!
Since you’re not answering my calls, I wanted to apologize for last night. I know it’s the lamest excuse ever but I was drunk.
Can you forgive an old friend? Hey, I’m butch too! Doesn’t that buy me at least a little favor in your eyes?
I AM SORRY. PLEASE DON’T BE MAD.
I was going to leave a different comment, but then I saw Tony’s lame ass comment and it got me wondering WHAT THE FUCK did she do???!!!!! Come on Sashi, don’t hold out on us
This gave me chills. I loved this video. Thank you for introducing us to Ivan Coyote. She’s amazing.
When is Ivan coming to LA? That butch makes me want to do dirty dirty things to myself.
Noooooo, say it isn’t so…..that the “Tony” commenter above isn’t one and the same as the heroine in the “Tony and Willa” saga. My heart just couldn’t take it.
Even though I am uncomfortable with the labels and know I don’t really fit, I would be the butch in my relationship, even with my long, blonde hair. My partner would be the femme, but I just call her my princess. Thanks Sasha for introducing me to Ivan. And Ivan, I’d never look at you differently. I don’t work that way.
Thanks to Sasha, I youtubed Ivan and found her Roadmap to Butch video from the same reading. Definitely recommend it and can’t wait to watch more.
I love that you admitted to laughing and crying. I love ivan for posting for this video! Everytime I’m feeling really really shitty I watch this! Lol that’s why it is permanently on my page. A constant reminder that I am fabulous and my butch is the most amazing and wonderful girlfriend! That we’re both so lucky to have each other
Thanks for passing this on!
Oh my god, what an amazing piece. And yes, she is hot! Whoo!
I love this video!! She is a wonderful human being
and I wish the world had more people like her. Thanks for posting- I know this is an older post, but her video was really moving, meaningful and impressive.
…..plus OMG she is hot- I didn’t want to say that because don’t want to disrespect her girl-yipes sorry but she is hot.
(no disrespect of course)
That part at the end about her heart being full of landmines, and even she not knowing how it works (and where you went yesterday, you can’t go today). This piece reminds me a lot of myself, and then further connects me to your piece on stone femmes. Shit’s no joke and I don’t envy the person who will be dealing with me, but I’ll love them all the more for it.
@ Elegy- When someone truly loves someone they love everything about them and support them unconditionally or that isn’t that right person you’d (you in general) would want to be with. Yes, this is an inspirational l video and it’s pretty obvious
she is a person of genuinely wonderful character.
@WWG – Sorta quiet these times – like me. How are you?
Jaz: Yes, I know. But some days kind words can seem kind of hallow because that’s not the life you’re living. Most days I am a-ok with being single, and have even recently accepted that I’m not going to find someone in my area (I’m going to have to move, which will be very, very hard as I have animals, and I am young)- but this week has just been one of those lows. I am happy that I have dates, but there just are not a lot of options in my area- especially if I want someone of character, forget added labels/traits like butch or femme. =/
@Femmelover – I’m good, just busy with life I guess.
@Sasha – Ivan Coyote, S. Bear Bergman, Jessica Halem and one other person will be reading at the Queer Literary Carnival in NYC next month on November 9th. Just fyi.
OMG! I looked it up and it’s free?? I wanna go! -Spazzes out on what to wear-
@ Elegy I totally understand what you are going through. Hang in there. It is totally ok to have “one of those lows” believe me I understand all too well-life isn’t always easy but through everything we experience we somehow become stronger- just remember you are so much stronger than you think. And those who appear like everything is totally roses it isn’t always that way- I wasted lots of years comparing myself/my life to others so I totally empathize w u.
Sorry if my “cyber cheerleading” is causing a gag reaction LOL LMAO 
I am just trying to let you know someone out there (lots of someones on CCL since we are all pretty much in the same boat-smile) is/are rooting for you and rooting for everyone. 
I can sincerely tell you are a very good person from your posts so just keep being yourself and eventually the right girl will come along and appreciate you for all the wonderfulness of you. 
(and yes lol I know “wonderfulness” is prob not a real word lol)
No, your cyber cheerleading isn’t causing a gag reaction! xD I found it very touching, and appreciate it.
My hearts so full the overflow is leaking from eyes. LOVE LOVE LOVED You. Thank you for sharing yourself with me, so happy I took the time, to spend some time with you.
Aww, that made me tear up. Thanks for sharing it Sasha.
I SO needed to watch this inspirational video today! (I’ve seen it before and loved it haven’t seen it for awhile but thought today would be a good time – circumstances- feeling pretty down so thought to watch it again.) Ivan is of outstanding personal character and very inspirational.
Hello Jazmenha – hope you are well miss lady! Please don’t feel down. Things can only get better!
Thanks FL!
I love this!!! =) Love your Blog…just found it!! =) Thank You!!
wow……………………………………………….this makes me wana date “1″, now;………………………with my No Double B rule of course….. (b.s. & baggage)….lol

It looks like Ivan got married last month. *Heavy sigh*
wow. i dont think i’ve ever been this touched by a speech before. i wish we had more role models like this in the UK!
I just recently came across Ivan E. Coyote, and I must say, this video makes me laugh, cry, and sigh all at the same time. when she says that she see us femmes, that’s usually when i start crying :p she makes me proud to be be femme, on the days i feel hopeless that i will never be noticed bc i am a femme, i watch this again and take hope.
