First trans trial judge
The first openly transgender trial judge in the country took the oath of office on Tuesday. Victoria Kolakowski told dot429 she was thrilled when her title became official during the Superior Court of California.
She likened the experience to her own personal “It Gets Better” story and was joined by her wife and her parents at the ceremony. Guests knew this was a big deal.
“It’s been very hard as a transgender person. We’re a community that’s chronically under- and unemployed and I’ve encountered that sort of discrimination in the past, but we’re making so much more progress now. In terms of my career, I think part of it is hard work and perseverance, and part of it is good luck.”

This is great news for the transgender community and for the rest of the world. Diversity really is becoming the law of the land. I’m proud of us, particularly those in California who made this happen.
