Dear Emma, Joined TGGuide only six months before you, and I became an unofficial greeter at TGGuide a short time after that. Am not transgender, but I reached out to TGGuide because I had such a positive experience with the transgender community when I lived in Tampa Bay, Florida. Emma, thank you for reaching out to me when I was exploring Seattle, Washington, as a possible future home. Thanks to your friendship, support and encouragement, I was able to survive a very homophobic environment, to the point of making T/LGB face to face friends and fighting for T/LGB rights locally (along with many others) to the point of having a Pride in Poughkeepsie, NY and a Pride ballgame in Wappingers Falls, NY. Without you, Emma, and my other TGGuide friends, I would not only have survived, but thrived in upstate New York! May you, Emma, and all my other TGGuide friends have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Love always, Monica P.S. Can't believe it has been five years on TGGuide!
