womenfolk

The womenfolk are depressed but Big Daddy Trump is going to fix all that and they'll be so happy they won't even think about abortion.

But the womenfolk in town were way ahead of them.

There’s a trope about “deceit” in the national conversation around transgender people — that we are somehow not what we appear to be, that we are going through the turmoil of transition not to find a sense of hard-won authenticity but instead as part of some kind of imaginary plot to harm the womenfolk.

We’d celebrated the holiday in the manly way: dad in his jacket and tie and me in an itchy sweater, accompanying the womenfolk to church.

“But womenfolk mostly trust what they feel more than menfolk. It’s called intuition. Think hard now, Jezebel. Did you feel, somewhere deep inside, that it was going to hurt you?”
