88. Fighting for our Country while Longing to be Female
Haley Holm is a veteran air force pilot. She completed 22 combat missions in Afghanistan. But during this time, Haley was known as Jim. Jim was described by friends as a very masculine man from a military family. But Jim had a secret. He longed to be female. How does a person find the courage to explore a new identity in one of the most male dominated workplaces in the world? For Haley…it was one sock at a time.
In this episode:
- Haley’s first memories of questioning her gender.
- Joining the Airforce and finishing at the top of the class.
- Stepping out as Haley for the first time and navigating this new identity.
- Letting go of her biological family and gaining a new support system.
- What it means to belong and provide a safe space for others.
