Here is an interview with Corinne, a transgender mother of three who realized her gender identity while serving in the military overseas. Watch as Corinne explains how she planned her medical transition with her and her wife’s family goals in mind. Corinne also talks about how her marriage evolved through her gender transition and how her children have adapted to the change.

“So, your parent is transgender. What’s that like?” Does this question sound familiar? As people with transgender parents, we often feel quite alone in our experience. When (and if) we explain that we have a trans parent, we often find most people have never met anyone else with a transgender parent. COLAGE is a great resource for People with Trans Parents!

Although when coming out there may be an initial strain on the family, studies have shown that having a parent come out and transition can actually strengthen the relationships in a family over time. Living your authentic truth not only frees you from the constraints of a closeted life but it also encourages your children to be more open-minded about diversity and shows them what it means to be honest about who you are even in difficult circumstances.
