Transgender, In 2013, Rothblatt was the highest-paid female CEO in America, earning $38 million.

Not sure of her party affiliation. I posted this in GD yesterday and it sunk like a rock.

Thank you for telling me and linking it.

People in the public eye that come out have more courage than I could ever muster or imagine. Hell, it took me almost a lifetime to come out as bisexual and I am a nobody.
