Oh, thank you so much Defiance! I sure appreciate your reading Snowflake and giving your time to comment.
Sabrina's life has had tragedy. She is an echo of real people I've met, LGBTQ and otherwise, who have suffered greatly, but carry on despite it all. They even survive what others miight consider 'mistakes' like drug abuse. The trick is, we can never know what someone has gone through unless we love them enough to walk in their shoes for a while. This, I think, would be the greatest gift we could give the transgendered. Accept their situation, walk in their shoes for a while, and then you'll see why they are the way they are and why they wish to live as they wish to live.
