I just have one question: Where the heck did the term “queerspawn” come from….It kind skeeves me out. It’s not like I burst from her chest, and I don’t have acid for blood. My mom was a lesbian, and I my teenage years were spent raised be her and her partner of 10 years.

Just had time to read the main points. Abigail, you have been a tremendous contributor to the movement and to my own thought process over the years. As an adult 2nd gen about to have a baby of my own, I have truly benefitted from your insights and hope that I can retain them as I enter the sleepless period of early parenting. Good luck in your new endeavors!
