transgender woman.Raisch shared her identity in a video posted to Twitter for the recent Transgender Awareness Week.“I arrived at a place in my life where I needed to face who my authentic self was to move forward,” she said. “What I’m pleased to share is that as daunting as a task it was, I have the support and acceptance of my creative team and the league itself.
That gives me strength to come out as transgender in the NFL. We have an opportunity at the NFL to create change. At creative, we dream up the impossible, but for me, life imitated art.
I stand here rebranded as my authentic self.”Raisch has been out to her family, friends, and colleagues for seven months, she told Forbes.
