Originally published in the Boston Globe
NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / February 15, 2023 / Trevor Boylston had started transitioning from female to male a decade before he started working at Boston Scientific, and he had no plans to reveal his true self to his new coworkers. Boylston has a stocky build and a beard and is married to a woman - "seemingly straight," as he puts it. But about six months after he started at the medical device company, around the time Caitlyn Jenner transitioned, a coworker started making transgender jokes. And Boylston decided he couldn't stay quiet any longer.
