Description: Issue 2 of sts's handwritten perzine, Nightmare Girl, documents her turmoil as an "xtian" and closeted lesbian in the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. She writes about her tumultuous relationships with women and her subsequent feelings of shame and anger due to the belief that she would go to hell, a belief shared by her peers, who went so far as to perform an exorcism on her and to recommend intense conversion therapy to change her sexual identity. sts also makes reference to being abused in the past, which she explored in the first issue of Nightmare Girl. Finally, she writes about moving out of that situation and ending up in Portland.
