Dear Jessica,

There are good and badly behaved people in all sectors of life.

Sadly, recently I had to jettison two transgender women and the mother of a trans man because they were abusive to me, thinking I was vulnerable and would take it with a smile.

Think of it as that we are all human and have to be judged individually. You may be surprised who accepts you and who doesn't. Don't assume you will be accepted just because you share some characteristic.

Your friend,

Monica
