Hi all,
Today is Transgender Day of Visibility, and I am coming out publicly as a transgender woman.
My name is Vanessa, and my pronouns are she / her.
Many of you have known me for a long time as Bert Freudenberg. I’m still me, just more so.
I will resubscribe to this list with my new email address, codefrau@gmail.com.
Cheers!

This fills me with such satisfaction, curiosity and delight. Bert was an amazing man, and one of my dearest friends. His was a technical opinion I sought, trusted and relied upon, because it was always forthcoming, considered and sane. So I am already placing a weight on your shoulders Vanessa, one that my inner voice tells me you will be able to bear with grace and wisdom.
Welcome, and thanks for bringing such an illuminating, surprising and delightful light into the world.
