Successful Trans Women in Business, Science, Professions
Take a look at these women. Do you really care what their gender is? Wouldn’t you want them on your team? When I was confronting my own transition, I looked for role models who had carved out successful professional careers without regard for their gender. There is a decided bias to this list. I was looking for people who seemed to provide a personally relevant role model.
