(10/13) “National Coming Out Day is very important. Socially we have grown so much, but politically there are a lot of barriers against the LGBTQ+ community based on standards, religious and social stigma, beliefs and hate. Just because we are different."

(7/13) “I first decided to talk to my Cox supervisor as a transgender because I knew Cox was an LGBTQ+ friendly company. I wanted to make sure that my employer was there for me. Cox has supported me in more ways than I can recall, but this was the most meaningful moment."

(6/13) “I wore those clothes proudly that day, but I was sad... I walked out of the office with the prize for the dress-up contest, but that is not what I wanted to be known for. I wanted recognition for who I am. I wanted to come out."

(5/13) “Years ago, the opportunity to show my true self came at an office Halloween dress-up contest. I wore women’s clothes from head to toe, 4½-inch high heels and a wig. Little did anyone know that was the true measure of who I am inside."

(3/13) “I was scared of what would happen if I came out as transgender. Would I lose my job? What about my family? I walked the halls of the office looking at women & how beautiful they looked in the clothes & colors they wore and imagining myself dressed as they dressed."

(12/12) “I was very lucky I made it out of that dark mental place plagued by suicidal ideation. There are so many people who don't because they can’t see a future where there is joy. But there is joy ahead…and there is a place of acceptance and peace.”

(10/12) "If anything, it was more like ‘I want to lift you up. I want to show you what you are capable of. I've always felt supported here, and I'm at my most powerful self when I’m not pretending to be something I’m not."

(8/12) “I never knew the grass could be so green living openly. I went from a place where you had to pretend to be something that you weren't, feeling the despair it brought. And then going to a place where there was no hiding, no toxicity and just a sense of great peace."

(2/12) “My late grandmother was the first family member I ever told because she was someone I trusted. She was a high school biology teacher, which I think is important context. I told her, ‘I have these thoughts, and I'm trying to fix them and be normal.’"
