Del Martin didn't just work the queer street. She was one of the pioneers of domestic violence reporting. Her book "Battered Wives" introduced the world to the horrors of violent marriages. It was the lynch pin of my dissertation in grad school. Thanks for bringing her to the Sanctuary. Her influence changed thinking whether it wanted to change or not.
I was in tears as well. Took me decades to act on it but flipping thru ‘Lesbian Women’ one sentence caught my eye and changed my life. There was a term for what I was, and I was not the only one: Transman.
This is wonderful writing, Wendy… I can’t wait for the next episode.

I was waiting for this story! 💪💪🙌❤️
Thanks for telling the story of these beautiful lesbians! I was only marginally aware of those happenings.
And I love your stories of the sweet family of strange ones. Chosen families are the best!
I’m happy to. As long as they are enjoyed.
This is a very nice piece that will hopefully perpetuate the memory of these two remarkable women.
(I love your writing style.)
Thank you snow I really love writing these even if I’m crying at the end

I actually got chills reading this—that’s love.
