Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, that's now become a major holiday season shopping day, has a different meaning for me. That's because on Black Friday in 2009 Christine Daniels, fka Mike Penner, died by suicide. I wasn't her closest friend by far, but her death still impacts me greatly to this day.

For those who don't know or recall her story, Christine Daniels was a Los Angeles Times sportswriter. For most of her career her byline was Mike Penner, but in 2007 she publicly transitioned to Christine Daniels. A year-and-a-half after transitioning to Christine, she retransitioned back to Mike Penner.
