Salaam,
The author of this article voiced many of my inner thoughts. When I was in Miami I went to this huge, beautiful mosque and was not greeted by one sister. They segregated themselves by color and ethinicity and basically created an unapproachable circle. I am asked constantly if I converted for a man and if I wear hijab because I am married. (no bc I am neither married and had no interest in marriage when I converted)
I think convert sisters may struggle more than the convert brothers because the rules in Islam are specific about women travelling with mahrem and such. In my case, where there is no mahrem, I am in a sticky situation. Now there is no mosque nearby (the closest one is 45 mins drive and I can't afford the gas) and I have no Muslim community within my physical location. So now the only contact I have with my fellow Muslims is online. Anyways, it is a lonely road and a struggle sometimes. I thank Allah I converted for the religion and not the Muslims so I wouldn't regret it.
Wasalaam
