Wymyn as undefined Femme: Byte as a unit of Data

Nomenclature that defines only one primary bit informing our identities.

As we are:

Wymyn, Womyn, Women, American Marginalized Communities, Asian Americans, Adopted And Imported People, Creatives, Creators,

Write for equality, 

Create for Liberation, 

Live as examples of Love for our fellow creatures and the Earth we must steward.

How traumatic was carrying a child born of rape? How did the birth mother manage the rest of her reproductive and relationship life? How did she feel about her daughter finding her?
