Rachel Goldberg was working as an attorney for the City of Stamford when she finally got up the courage to share the decision that had tormented her to the point of trying to take her own life. Known as "Bruce" at the time, she was worried how then-Mayor Dannel Malloy would react when he learned she planned to become the woman she always felt she was.

"Was I fearful? Absolutely," Goldberg said. "I was at the same time trying to hide the white gauze bandages on my wrists under my crisp white shirt. I had tried to slit my wrists."
