"Secondary" Lesbians

It's way too easy to condemn people whose lives took different paths as somehow not being the same as me.

Then I encountered a sister named Robyn on a list called Trans-Theory.  Robyn was my demographic twin.  We were born the same year.  We grew up in small towns far from the big city and any sort of LGBT/T folks.  We lived around the corner from each other in the Haight, may have even met each other.  Yet I came out in 1969 while she married and raised children.

Now a rather vicious cabal of people pushing Bailey, Blanchard, Raymond and Greer attacked the Trans-Theory list pathogizing mainly people who came out in middle age with " ->-bleeped-<-".
