I just heard a few minutes ago that transgender pioneer, activist and friend, Dainna Cicotello passed away this afternoon.  Dainna served our country in the US Navy for over a decade, transitioned in 1985 and served our community and the people in the Denver area in terms of doing panels, trainings and consulting work.   She also taught those classes at several trans themed conferences such as ICTLEP (International Conference of Transgender Law and Employment Policy) IFGE (International Foundations for Gender Education) Southern Comfort, the Texas T Party and Fantasia Fair.  Dainna was also part of the working group in the early 90's that sought to create a modern definition for transgender that would satisfy the trans stakeholder constituent groups at the time. 

Dainna's daughter Laurie said she transitioned from this world at 3:54PM mountain time. 

RIP my friend, you are reunited with your beloved Mary.
