"I didn't believe I would be successful," she says. But now "I'm as happy as anyone can be. I haven't lost anything. I have my position in business. I have my wife, I have my kids and I have my house."
[Before I transitioned], diversity was more of a statistic for me. I knew I had to recruit a certain amount of women around me to look good.

We had the "big talk," and I told them that I planned to live as a woman and change my name from Carl to Caroline.I realized that what is normal, and not normal, is not something that's in our heads when we are born, but entirely within the social structures of one's upbringing.
