Since the age of eight, David Thornton has had a part of him that is identified as female. Thornton, a CSS Delivery Manager now in his late 50s, has spent all but the last several years of his life covering his true identity, which he sees as female with the name Vicki. Thornton hid Vicki away everywhere and always. As a schoolboy, growing up in England as an officer in the British Army. And as a professional. That suppression and resulting stress started to ease when Thornton came to Microsoft in 2007, where he felt he could be who he was, without worry. Thornton has since become involved in GLEAM, Microsoft's employee resource group for LGBTQI employees, and a strong voice in this year's pride events. We talked about Vicki's childhood, her career, her family, what it means to cover and the cost of that mentally and emotionally. And we talked about how it feels to finally live and work as your true self.
