re: Have you ever personally met a transgender or non-binary person?

there is a well known case in the O&G Pipeline world of this

guy was a pipeline engineer for a major midstream company and pretty widely accepted as probably gay, but never indicated anything officially to anyone

he had a leave of absence of about a month and when he returned, he was now a she. There was an email from HR to her fellow employees but none of us vendors knew anything. First industry social event she shows up and everyone are blown away but very respectful. I soon had a meeting with her and her team that was non-eventful

she left the owner operator side and went to the city sales team on the services side and did well.

The funny thing is she was about 6’3 and 240 lbs has long feminine hair and wears golf shirts and khakis just like the rest of us. With very little makeup

with her hair you would just think she plays bass in a band on the weekends or something
