David Nielsen, a former media specialist at Southwest High School in Minneapolis, left work on a Friday in 1998 as a man and returned Monday as Debra Davis, a woman.

Nielsen had lived a dual life for years — born with male genitalia but identifying as a woman. That spring in 1998, Nielsen decided to no longer live in shame and embraced her true female identity.

One of the first transgender people to work with high school students, Nielsen retired several years later and has since been educating people about gender issues and equality.
