Former mother and son become father and daughter

-

At the age of 14, Corey Maison, socially transitioned from boy to girl in the past few years and her mum, a mother of 5, who is now her Dad said Corey, gave her the courage to begin her own transition from female to male.
The teen who is now 15 years old 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.
“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.

Her mum Eric Maison, who used to go by Erica Maison, said that he was emboldened by his daughter’s decision to be her true self. He wrestled with different emotions while deciding whether to transition or not.
Eric said:
“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.

Eric's husband, Les Maison said:
“I fell in love with the person. She was beautiful as a woman, but equally beautiful on the inside,”  “As long as Eric is happy with the appearance, Eric will be happy with what’s in her brain – or his brain.” 

Eric who was a mother of five, now a Dad of five said he regrets not coming to terms with his gender identity earlier.
Eric Maison said:
“The only regret I have is not being educated sooner about what transgenderism was, so I could do it sooner,” .

According to her, “May be being together would have helped keep us together. Because it would enable us study and understand each other more. May be it would have helped but I’m not sure.” Asked if her estranged husband was comfortable with her kind of job, she said,  “He met me an actress and I believe he was okay with that. Actually he complained. My work ta...
