An amazing mom and the story of her 6-year-old transgender daughter

The video of a Kansas City mother who shared the story of her transgender daughter is gaining international visibility — translation, it’s gone viral.

Debi Jackson spoke recently at the Listen to your Mother show, a live traveling event prior to Mother’s Day where women tell five minute stories about motherhood. Said Jackson:

“My daughter is six years old. She transitioned, which means she changed her outward appearance from male to female and started living full time as her true gender, when she was four. Until that point she was quite a rough and tumble little boy with a buzz cut and a shark tooth necklace…”

Watch this amazing mom:

Jackson has recently launched Trans-Parenting.com, a website to provide a forum and resources for parents of transgender children.
