3. In the letter Levin stated: “I hope you will see that I am the same person at my core that I have always been…”:

Dear Parents and Guardians:
I have been a pediatrician at Piedmont Pediatrics for 20 years and look forward to many more years working with my colleagues and my patients here in Concord. Because of my relationship with my patients, their families and the community, I am writing to share with you an important change in my life and to help explain why this change is necessary. I am taking some time away from work in March. When I return a few weeks later, I will begin living my life more authentically as Laura Levin, a transgender woman. You may not be familiar with this term, but a transgender or transsexual person is a normal, healthy person whose gender identity does not match
their physical gender.
