Meet Vangie Castro: The person behind Flannel Diaries
Updated: November 11/25/2020

Hello!
What the heck is Flannel Diaries? Seriously, I'm still trying to figure that out. This is a conglomeration of various media outlets that are focused on things & stuff that would concern the more unconventional and masculine leaning females, or genderqueer and gender non-conforming folks. From style to local news in my little cosmopolitan town.
​
Who am I?
I'm masculine leaning gender non-conforming cis-female who loves other females (usually one-at-a-time), however, I'm also not very strict when it comes to gender identity. We put too much emphasis on how we want to label our identity. However, you want to identify and whomever you decide to love is your prerogative and more power to you. Hopefully, there will be something somewhere in these pages that will interest you, make you giggle, and help you style your hair and wardrobe.
​
Why Flannel Diaries?
There is a long-running joke among my friends about my wardrobe entirely consist only plaid flannel long sleeve shirts. That's not true. It also consists of short-sleeve plaid shirts for the warmer spring and summer months. It is what it is, and I like what I like. Moreover, I look good in plaid. Butch lesbians are also known to be recognized in the wild by their flannel plaid shirts. Not everyone that wears flannel is a butch lesbian, it's a stereotype, but there is a level of truth behind all stereotypes. Don't take my word for it.
