I don't often post personal things on linkedin. This is one of my sons. A bright, happy boy who loves his life. What many people don't know is that when he was born he was 'sexed' as a girl. His gender identity, whats in his head, doesn't match his physical sex. I am so proud that he knows who he is and isn't constrained by societal norms and prejudices. We can all learn something from this small boy and I learn every day. Everyone is different. We all need accept that people are different and not try to force those around us to fit into a box that suits us. Accepting people for who they are is the only way to encourage innovation, embrace growth and harness the best in everyone. I have permission from my son to post this. He is proud of who he is. #peopleareawesome
