A whole garden of lesbian varieties...Some by choice, some by birth, some late in life, you name it, I've probably met them!

Yes, a while garden full of types of lesbians. For people like me, being a lesbian was self-discovery.

oops I meant to write a whole garden....

These questions and the humour as well as your trademark honesty are a great tribute to DA

I just subscribed back because of your 'trademark honesty' remark, which made me feel heard, and you spell humor like that, and Lucian Truscott follows you.....

I LOVED the smell of my menstrual blood, the loaminess of it; how interesting you didn't like it!

I had terrible cramps too. I do wish I had experienced menstruation the way you did, and I’m glad to be back in touch with you. And happy to be discussing such a subject publicly!

Blanche, the feeling is mutual re: both being back in touch and the open discussion. Still love your writing after all these years!
