Jane - Willits, California, 1977: from Eye to Eye: Portraits Of Lesbians by Joan E. Biren {2021 edition / first printing 1979}

hot-flanks: Seeing women shirtless in the same way that we see men shirtless - that is to say, non-sexualized, working, shirtless because it is practical in the heat, etc - is so, so important. The work towards desexualizing my chest has taken me years but these days I happily putter about my daily activities without a shirt when it’s hot out.
