Rigby,
I hope it's ok if I jump in at this late hour. I've found this whole thread rather compelling and disturbing (so disturbing, I must add, that I haven't been able to read much of it at a time, and still haven't finished it, so forgive me if I say stuff that's already stale). I'm not exactly sure why I find it so disturbing, but that's not the point.
I have trouble thinking it's a coincidence, this parallel. And it's odd (to me) that I'm experiencing such a similar parallel in my own life. Of course, I don't know if my T was ever a lesbian (I would guess not) but I know *I* was, and now I'm involved in a pretty serious relationship with a guy for the first time in 13 years. I don't think it's a coincidence for me that this is happening and that my T is straight. I dunno. It's all very mystifying and disconcerting to me to tell you the truth.
The whole thing makes me queasy. I don't know what to make of it.
