As the political and cultural debate focuses on bathroom access, Farley wanted to inspire trans people to achieve their professional and creative dreams, but also draw attention to workplace inclusion and discrimination.

A National Center for Transgender Equality survey of 6,450 transgender and gender non-conforming people found that 78% of respondents reported experiencing "direct discrimination and mistreatment" by coworkers and supervisors.

Such treatment is more than just unfair or illegal; Farley believes it strips trans people of the right to pursue their talents and contribute to their communities.

"Work can be something that it is an expression of love or passion," Farley says. "That’s why I feel so committed to making sure that trans people or queer people have access to jobs."
