I’M SO OLD, I REMEMBER HER AS MARTIN. Futurist, pharma tycoon, satellite entrepreneur, philosopher. Martine Rothblatt, the highest-paid female executive in America, was born male. But that is far from the thing that defines her. Just ask her wife. Then ask the robot version of her wife.

Well, this is the 21st Century, you know. Of course, the Amanda Marcotte take would be that of course the highest-paid female executive in America used to be male. Because the patriarchy takes care of its own! And, no, I really do remember her as Martin Rothblatt, writing about space law back in the early days.
