Most women do not call themselves "womyn" -- those who do (generally radical lesbian feminists)

I'm not a radical lesbian feminist. I am a divorced, mentally ill, catholic convert female who is sidelined in church and society. Because I have need of therapy, that puts me in the untouchable category when it comes to having any meaningful insights into the human condition. I only referred to myself as "womyn" because I can relate to their outcast status. I hate that word and it makes me angry when I see it used. It is only used in a derogatory manner.

Of course it is only used in a derogary manner, otherwise it would be written "women". I hope we can dailogue because your post hit me hard the one where you said the thing about feeling guilty after taking communion, or something like that. That made me sad. I'd like to discuss, if you do not mind. If you do, mind that's cool then I won't bug you.
