Amazon Stories: Danielle Skysdottir

“The world told me I was a boy. They wrapped me in a blue blanket and I thought that was what I was. And it didn’t fit.”

Danielle Skysdottir thought she had her life figured out. Growing up, she always loved computer programming. She graduated from college with a degree in computer science and was hired at Amazon.

“I was living my life weighed down by the obligations of a gender that wasn’t mine.”

After much soul-searching and professional support, Skysdottir came to the realization that she was transgender and ultimately decided to transition.
