Ralph Pigskin – July 2025

This is the first half of a creative collaboration which introduces Lynne. It was initially inspired after I heard someone I don’t know refer to someone as a Fag Hag, but became something more as I took her non-binary name used in her research and collaborated on it with others. Part 2 is written by Rousse and appears elsewhere.

PS That t is correct!

Meet tempest, pronouns she/her.
She’s a leatherman, you may call her Sir.
She’s really into masculinity,
Except the toxic variety.

In the LGBT she’s a little t
She’s also out as a big B
In BDSM she’s the capital D
In the playroom she likes T&A and both kinds of C

Her job is kinky psychotherapy
Her Keychain says ‘Fuck the Patriarchy’
She’s a feminist transgressive, and poetically blunt
If you’re a misogynist she’ll call you out as a cunt.

She’s no breath of fresh air, she’s a ragin’ storm,
A cis queer cyclone that twists at the norm.
