A transgender dad and daughter from Detroit are revealing their incredible journeys as they transition from mom and son.Corey Maison, 15, first told her parents she identified as a girl four years ago, but it was not until last year she learned that her mother also struggled with her gender identity. The pair are now leaning on each other as they transition together.The teen has chronicled their transitions on her Instagram account, and the two sat down for an interview with Australia’s “60 Minutes” to talk about the experience.“I wanted to make my parents proud of who I am, but I thought that they would not like me,” Corey said about coming out as transgender.Eric Maison, who used to go by Erica, said that he was emboldened by his daughter’s decision. He wrestled with different emotions while deciding whether to transition.“The first feeling was relief, the second was terror,” he said. “Fear for what my future would hold, fear for how my family and children would, fear for what the rest of my life was going to look like.”Eric Maison has since undergone a double mastectomy. He said he plans to stay together with his husband, Les, who supports his transition.
There's nothing quite like celebrating and praising a mental illness that afflicts less than half a percent of the population. 5 minutes of fame for a lifetime of freakishness. They need to be in an asylum, period.
