"I feel welcomed, I feel included, I feel seen, and able to be me."
October 6, 2024Amazon employee Trixie Ingleby joined Amazon because the company provides health care benefits that include gender affirming surgery; she stayed because of the people.
For Trixie Ingleby, being true to who she is has been a journey of self-discovery. “I was born as male and raised as male,” said Ingleby. “After figuring out who I was, I went from Matthew to Trixie.”
Ingleby joined Amazon two years ago as a Transportation Operations Management (TOM) driver trainer in West Jordan, Utah. Amazon’s wide-ranging health care benefits, including gender affirming surgery, are what first prompted Trixie to apply.
“I came to Amazon because of the benefits,” she said. “I could not have done my surgery without them.”
With the support of her TOM team, managers, and Amazon’s health care benefits, Ingleby was given an opportunity to live her life on her own terms. She hopes that through telling her story, others will be able to find hope and happiness.
