"The spectacle of gruff men in suits hugging a fellow commuter in an airport lounge might raise the odd eyebrow.
When that commuter is Catherine McGregor, the world's most senior transgender military officer, it is nothing short of profound."
McGregor says "there can't be a greater waste of a human life than dying without ever letting the people you love see who you really are".
Great statement, but behind it lays a vastness of complexity.
