One year ago today I came out to my co-workers and was amazed by the support they (and my employer) showed me.

It was the penultimate step in my transition, which ended up happening far faster than I expected, because they actually asked me to come to work as me sooner rather than later.

I am truly privileged and lucky to have had my transition go about as smoothly as it could. Every day, I’m reminded that too many of my trans sisters, brothers and siblings aren’t as fortunate.
