Hi Lana

   I see that you are new here. So please let me say, Welcome To Susan's Place! Come on in and take a good look around.  Perhaps I can even get you to hop on over to the Introductions (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/board,8.0.html) Thread and  create a post to tell us a little bit more about yourself so we can get to know you a little better and greet you properly.

  Also I'll add some links and information below that can help you get more out of our site. Please take time to become familiar with them especially the RED one as we are always getting questions that are answered there.

Here in my cave I missed hearing about Danica until about a week before the election.  Saw a little about her and her transgender-ness but being old and cynical I said "no way".  I was hoping for the best but really a trans legislator?  Not yet.  Not now. 
Girl, I was wrong. She is such an inspiration to the 10 yo trans girl and to me too.  So impressed.  And love her attitude.  Yea, I am transgender and here is what needs to be fixed and it is not about the F@^*#$%g bathroom.  Its real roads for real people to make her community better.  She is about making the world better.  IDK but maybe she rises higher than her present office.  Yea I am transgender, now lets talk about defense spending.
A great end of election summary and the support she got.
Thanks Lana
