"Unfortunately, transgender people end up at the very bottom of the
financial totem pole, simply because we are who we are," contends
QueerCents' new financial consultant, Ashley A. Wilson. "We get
discriminated against employment wise, we get discriminated against
when we go as consumers to buy things. The challenges are huge."

Born in a small Philadelphia suburb to "your classic old fashioned,
mainline, blue-blood family that's been here since 1632," Wilson still
lives in the house she grew up in.
