    Thank you for this lovely email Emma. And all my best + happy
    birthday to your sibling. We are far from alone. Regular people
    that just happen to be the way we are.

    Kind regards,

        out as a trans woman as well, and today is their (they prefer
        the neutral pronoun now) birthday, so seeing your story was
        just awesome :)  And thank you for all you do for the OSGeo
        community!

                    Dear Everyone,

                    Please pardon me for those who already know this news.

                    I participate quite a bit and have supported OSGeo
                    initiatives since
                    the early days (FWIW, I am a charter member since
                    2008), and it
                    seems appropriate to share this here as well.

                    If you please, it is my wish you call me Andrea
                    
<https://42aross.wordpress.com/2015/10/08/my-name-is-now-andrea/>
                    from now on. Thank you.

                Hey Andrea, that was a great read, thanks for being
                yourself !

                A fun thing is that "Andrea" in Italy is a male name
                (translation of
                Andrew) so it wasn't very clear from the subject what
                you were after).

                It's good to see female population growing in this
                community, btw :)

                --strk;


            Thanks for your email Sandro. Yeah, I recognize that for a
            few parts of the world, Andrea is more typically a male
            name. Of course for quite a few it's typically a female
            name. I guess that's kind of a fitting name for me then. :-)

            Kind regards,

            Andrea
