You might be right that closeted lesbianism is unlikely. To be sure, high and mighty chauvinism for lesbians is grossly unwarranted. I attended parochial elementary school as a kid.
Convents back then were hotbeds of debaucherous lesbian promiscuity. Fueled by menstrual anger, butch dyke nuns would abusively kick the piss out of poor little kids in class. I still feel pins and needles just thinking about it. Of course, many lesbians are good people. Hopefully you are one of them.
You are judging all lesbians by one group you encountered as a child. Apart from the fact that I don't know how you could know any convent was the short of "hotbed" you describe (sounds more like a fantasy to me), it's more likely the abusive nuns were suffering from enforced celibacy within an oppressive hierarchical organisation. Not excusing them, but their behavior wasn't necessarily linked to their sexuality.
I'm sorry you and other kids experienced that, and also sorry that its left you with a legacy of misjudging all lesbians by your experiences.
I'm not lesbian now but I was for many years and the attitude of some that they're better than het women and all men gave me the shits. I've seen dykes do the same shit things to each other and each other's kids as men do - family violence, rape, abandoning kids when a relationship breaks down and I've also known some wonderful loving ethicial lesbians. Just like other humans, eh? No better, no worse

I am saying many lesbians are good people, and I'm saying that I hope you are one of them. Notice that I am not judging all lesbians by my experience.

Oh thanks, I'm so sorry I misunderstood you.
