Dani

The Transgender Show

This week on the show is Dani, she works as a manager in the male-dominated electrical sector and hosts support groups for trans teens and adults in northern California.

Dani is a 50 year old trans woman in the middle of her second go at transition. She’s worked in the Power Distribution business for over 27 years and as a member of the IBEW (electrical workers) Union for most of that time. Coming out in her male-dominated industry meant she was the first to transition within her company as well as the union. She currently has 14 men who work under her, accept her, and support her. Before entering the electrical business, she served in the Navy as a helicopter mechanic and Search and Rescue swimmer.

Dani helps facilitate a support group for trans teens in Sacramento as well as an open adult group and was instrumental in building The Transverse Discord community (now found on Discord as Transection).
