ATLANTA (CNN) -- Four years on, Vandy Beth Glenn still gets choked up thinking about the day she was fired from her perfect job.

Lol -
QuoteOne year later, Glenn, aided by her therapist, decided she'd come to work as a woman: Vandy Beth. She'd continued the charade -- a woman at home, a man at work - long enough. Looking back, she quipped, "it's odd to have two identities and not be fighting crime."

She is one of my Facebook friends. I have a feeling her case will lay the groundwork for more advancements in our civil rights. But definitely someone I look up to because despite everything, she never gave up. ^_^
