Maria See put the original call out for the Femmethology literally years ago, and ever since I first saw it I knew I wanted to contribute something to this unique anthology on femme identity. But what? I didn’t feel like I could necessarily speak from a place of authority on What Femme Is, there are hundreds – thousands! – of versions of femme, and no matter what I know about femme or how many femmes I’ve interacted with, I am an observer, a witness of femme, I don’t feel like I create it myself.
So what would I write?
I wrote a few pieces, brainstormed, but nothing I really loved. Nothing really got to the heart of what I was trying to say, which was … what? I wasn’t sure.
But it hit me on the very last day the editors were accepting submissions, and I sat down and wrote this Love Letter in one long sentence, and spent the rest of the day editing and polishing. I’m not going to reproduce the text here (you’ll have to buy the book for that) but I will present you, here, with a recording of me reading the love letter that appears in Visible: A Femmethology Volume Two.
Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks very much to Audacia Ray for recording and producing this mp3!

I love it when Sinclair does recordings!
[And I swear there is also one about femme cock somewhere on this site.]
Thank you so much, Sinclair. That was simply beautiful.
You made me smile and cry – thank you for sharing. I needed that.
Ohh that's beautiful. I wanted to listen to it again after hearing it (and I did).
this was lovely and much needed. it came at a time when this femme needed to feel so admiration and appreciation. i cannot wait to read it. thank you. xoxo
Oh, Sinclair, that was amazingly, hauntingly, bewitchingly gorgeous. The sound of your voice cut through an ordinary day and touched my soul with light. A thousand thanks, dear Sir.
Ohhhh my goodness Sinclair. Your voice can make a girl cry and laugh all at the same time.
Thanks for the love, Mr. Sexsmith.
Sinclair, your smooth voice dripping from my speakers melts me everytime I hear it.
Brava
Thank you. I'd just had some shit news from my own butch, and was feeling a tad down, but as usual, your words (and especially your voice) has soothed me, made me feel wanted, respected, needed, seen. Thank you.
"To all the femmes who have seen me" – We see you and we see ourselves through your eyes and have never felt more beautiful. Thank you.
