lesbian community. She began her career billing herself as "That
Fucking Dyke"; she states "I called myself that because I would
walk down the street and people would yell (it) at me. But after two years
of performing I would walk down the street and people would yell (it) at
me and I wouldn't know if they were a fan or not!
