My preconceived notions on the gender transition experience got BLOWN UP thanks to this conversation with Andrea Leigh - a powerful woman of influence straight outta Oklahoma - with an affinity for fashion, tattoos, sports cars, Harleys and guns. Andrea has the unique perspective and wisdom that comes from living a full and satisfying life as a man and now, as a woman. She has strong opinions about being referred to as “trans” and the freedom to choose our own identities. This conversation provides another informed perspective - especially if you have opinions on people who identify as transgender.
