“For at least some depressives and other people familiar with similar issues, the concept of identifying with the disease is about as appealing as binding one’s identity to a pus-filled abcess: that is not the self, that is a lesion on the self.”

Amber,
Thank you for the link to the conversation between Annie Sprinkle and Mae Tyme. Very informative, especially Sprinkle’s experience with the police raid of her friends’ home and Tyme’s perspective on violence direct towards lesbians. What was truly amazing was that here were two women who held opposing opinions and yet were respectful and supportive of one another.
