I touch briefly on transgender employment statistics in this episode so I decided to dedicate this one to Rachel See, a woman who transitioned while employed at the NLRB and was the Board President for the National Center for Transgender Equality for 5 years. She is the first person I've dedicated an episode to who does not have a Wikipedia page, though I think technically she qualifies for one based on importance.
