"There are no lesbians here"

"...berdache, derived from a Persian word meaning "kept boy" or "male prostitute" and first applied by French explorers to designate "passive" partners in homosexual relationships between Native American males" ~ Midnight Sun 1988

Berdache also derived from Persian, meaning "patience" in Urdu...

connections, anyone?

    well bardasht doesnt really mean patience, it means "suffer." which is slightly different. in that context it makes more sense.. the one to "bear the burden" or to "suffer" is the one at the bottom.

    i love etymology :)
