"As the laws across the country change, more and more people are coming out as transgender or transsexual. Finding a starting place to facilitate transitioning at work can be a challenge. I offer an outline of what we did to facilitate my transition. Use what works and come up with a different plan for what doesn't. If nothing else, it is a starting point for discussions."
In 2017, I talked to Shauna about which aspects of her experience can be useful for other transwomen: "Understanding that it's not just you, but everyone in your family that is transitioning. Some will accept. Some will reject.
Regardless, we all need to be who we are. Change can be painful, but we get to the other side and we are happier than we have ever been in our previous life. We find more self-confidence. Plus, we find a new family that welcomes us with open arms.
Have I ever regretted doing this so late in my life? I am asked this a lot. No, I don't. The reason is simple: my son.
If I had done anything differently, I would not have this incredible young man for a son! I would walk through the flames of Hell itself if my love as a mother called for it. My son (21) is everything to me. I hope someday that my daughter (27) may return, but that is not how the smart money bets."
