I won't be using this site to post my work (I've been reading people aren't fans of that, and hey, cool, I get it!) but this one is for the kids who might be struggling this year, and the parents and grandparents who love them. #LGBT

It was never lost on me that if someone couldn’t respect the most basic starting point — my name — it would be impossible to trust them with anything else, Lorraine Sommerfeld writes.

@LorraineSommerfeld Curious to know why people don't want you to post your columns? I think that's dumb.

@JewelOWisdom I haven't had anything directly (and I haven't been posting columns) but some journos are doing Twitter things - drive-by posting, not interacting, and this place is different. Then again, I always interact, so I'm just being preemptive. I figure the newbies are the interlopers and I want to learn the ropes without pissing off too many. Yet. Heh.

@LorraineSommerfeld Good for you! I started using my married name after my husband died because some people tried to deny we were married. Ten years later, I’m going back to my own name. No one else’s call! Anyway, of course you should post your stuff here.
