Sadly, I remember the suicide more than I remember the actual 'coming out' in this case...

I read about Christine Daniels and was happy for her. I was saddened about her suicide because with more support she could have been a blessing to many others. Gennee

I was part of a TG group that Christine was also part of. She had many people she could have called on and they would have been there in moments. None of us heard a word after she "deTransitioned" until the fatal news.
This gender thing can be hell on earth. RIP
