By: Henry Morris/Special to TRT—This month, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Natasha, a Women’s Lunch Place, WLP, guest for the past four years.
Natasha shared her story and spoke with us about why she advocates for trans women to rely on WLP as a daytime haven and resource center.In 2016, Natasha came out as trans in a small, conservative town.
After years of keeping her identity a secret, she knew that a public transition meant that her support network would immediately vanish.“It’s like burying your family before they die,” Natasha said. “Initially, I thought there might’ve been one or two other trans girls in Massachusetts.”In search of a more progressive place to live, Natasha decided to move to Boston; however, without any.
