Description
Danielle Badler’s oral history traces her life from suburban New York through college, marriage, corporate communications, international relocation, and transition in Colorado. She discusses early childhood awareness of gender difference, secrecy, suicidal fear, searching for language before “transgender” was widely available, and building a successful public career while privately managing gender dysphoria. Badler reflects on journalism, corporate public affairs, marriage, parenting, discovering transgender community through boutiques, makeovers, the internet, Diva Las Vegas, therapy, hormones, and the end of her marriage. Her story highlights transgender identity, secrecy, professional achievement, family, grief, community, and late-life self-realization.
