Like many people, the pandemic gave me time to reflect upon my life. I finally accepted that, for the majority of my life, I’d hidden part of myself away from the world and that I was, in fact, transgender.
When I decided that I really needed to live authentically for my own mental health, I needed support from a lot of people - not least my employer. From this experience, I firmly believe that all companies should support their employees who go through a transition and that everybody benefits from working in a supportive and caring environment.
