My respect for her, and the life she has carved out for herself, is immense.\u201d <strong>\u2013 <\/strong><strong>The Rev.

And for those who cannot seamlessly \u201cpass\u201d or \u201cgo stealth,\u201d there is the question of whether to address the topic directly or wait until a job offer is made. Ms. Horton first faced that choice in 2001, when she looked for a new job &#8230; after a decades-long career in computer administration in Ohio as Mark Horton.\u201d <strong>\u2013 The New York Times<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t about being first.
