Some parents may have a very tough time accepting the fact that their children want to be transgender.

However, this family embraced it more than ever.

When daughter Corey Maison came out transgender, she had absolutely no idea how much of an impact it would have on her family.

She was completely oblivious that her mother, Erica, was also learning how to accept her own identity.

Fast forward four years of tough conversations, testosterone therapy and a double mastectomy, and Erica, now Eric, has made the courageous decision to become transgender.

And it was all thanks to his daughter.

Like Corey, Eric feared rejection from his husband and children, as well as from society as a whole.

Now, Eric feels the best he’s ever felt. He’s been fully embraced with open arms by his family and feels more comfortable than ever.

What a great story! Congratulations to them both.
