Owning Your Transition: Andrea Leigh's Unapologetic Perspective
Andrea Leigh's remarkable journey from pharmacology to fashion defies easy categorization, making her story one that resonates far beyond the transgender community. In this candid conversation, Andrea reveals how after checking all society's boxes for success—a 24-year career at Pfizer, marriage, amateur athletic achievements, even ranch ownership—she still felt fundamentally unfulfilled, leading to a gender transition that transformed her perspective on authenticity and self-acceptance.
The title of her bestselling memoir, "Do You Still Like Football?", comes from her father's first question after she announced her transition plans—a moment that assured both of them that while external packaging might change, her core identity remained intact. Andrea's unique perspective as someone who doesn't fit neatly into expected categories makes her voice particularly valuable in today's polarized conversations about gender, identity, and personal transformation.
