Holly Conroy is a transgender truck driver from the rural Australian town of Wagga Wagga. She first tried to come out as trans when she was 27, but her family and friends dissuaded her from doing so. After a five-year marriage to a woman, she came out again at 37, sharing the news with friends on social media.editor Alicia Vrajlal.
“Readers have embraced Holly’s story, with plenty of circulation on LGBTQ Facebook groups and community hubs,” Alicia told me, noting that the images with the piece “reflected femininity in a male-dominated industry.” Holly said her boss at a construction company was supportive when they first discussed her coming out and transitioning.
Now she drives a truck for a different company, and her straight male colleagues attended the pride parade she organized last year. “Holly is a pioneer in the trans community,” senior editor Carly Williams told me. “Rural Australia can be a tough place for LGBTQ people and Holly has been imperative in changing that.”
