Katelynn, trans woman, activist:
"Transgender people are often overlooked in the workplace due to others' concerns over our gender expression, however we are as valuable as any other employee. Workplace discrimination is among the most common forms of discrimination that our community faces, and it happens so blatantly from the bathrooms to the cubicles to the meeting rooms."
