Changing from Dad to Mom is difficult, but Megan Wallent writes about her transition from male to female and being a transgender parent.
Navigating any major change as a family takes a lot of planning, discussion and courage, but navigating the transition from male to female is one of the most fundamental changes there are. I came across Megan Wallent's blog this week, and was very touched by her story of transitioning from male to female, and how she openly and honestly worked through that change with her partner and three children.
Megan, a manager at Microsoft, writes about many aspects of her gender transition, including a detailed account of how she told her children about the change and how they reacted over time. Her approach is very straightforward and respectful of her children's need to process the news and to have some control over situations such as Megan's first public appearance presenting as female.
Whether you're a transgender parent or not, Megan's story is inspiring and well worth a read.
