    We're actually back! Tyger and Lee recount their recent exploits that have kept them from recording, and more importantly, chat about how CF people are often pathologiezed.When people find out about our choice to be childfree, there is a tendency to treat it as dysfunctional, abnormal, or borne from trauma.
