"LINN - Transgender woman Cathy Serino received an invitation on Wednesday to participate in the "The United States of Women" conference hosted by The White House this June.
"A lot of people don't consider me a real woman, so these people obviously do and accept me as a woman to invite me to a women's summit. It makes me feel fantastic," Serino said.
Serino didn't know about the summit until last Wednesday when she received her nomination for the event.
"At the time, I had no idea how I'd been nominated, who had nominated me, anything. Come to find out, it was somebody who runs a celebrity transgender website," Serino said.
With her invitation to the summit, Serino wants to make the most of the opportunity in order to help local trans-activists."
