Emil Guillermo: Bruce Jenner? My experience with a trans woman taught me why we must stand with all LGBTQ.

My friend Kenna Fisher is a librarian.

But she is also a man transitioning into a woman.

And her story is every bit  the equal of Jenner’s, but without Kim, Khloe, Kris, or Olympic medal.

Google her,  you’ll see.

Kenna and I are in a solo performance workshop group at the Marsh and had coffee afterwards  one day.

Read my column here.

It taught me why it’s important to stand with the LGBTQ.

Literally stand next to a friend some time.

You’ll see enough ignorance and hate drawn to you to last  a lifetime.

You can hear Kenna’s story  here.
