    12-23-24: Rachel See

    I touch briefly on transgender employment statistics (https://transequality.org/issues/employment) in this episode so I decided to dedicate this one to Rachel See (https://www.rachelsee.com/trans-advocacy/), a woman who transitioned while employed at the NLRB and was the Board President for the National Center for Transgender Equality (https://transequality.org/)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.
