This spring, Les and Scott GrantSmith will mark their 25th wedding anniversary. The couple raised two daughters along the way. But 15 years ago, they hit a crisis that nearly shattered their family. Les was keeping a secret, and that became a problem. But they solved it as a family, in a way that kept them together and happy.
In the weeks leading up to that day back in 1997, Les was certain of two things: She was a mother who loved her daughters — and she was also transgender, the term for someone born in a body of the wrong sex.
Les grew depressed and withdrawn, terrified that revealing her need to live her life as a man would mean losing Scott and their daughters, Thea and Amanda.

No the mom did not become a man, she became a woman with a surgical attached dildo.
Twins!
Isn’t it good to think that this story is brought to us by NPR, at taxpayer expense?
I remember when NPR used to be mostly classical music. There was some excuse for it, then.
Need it be said that the cowardly GOP needs to axe this travesty?
Land of the freaks and the home of the brazen.
People like this give weirdos a bad name.
I’m surprised they don’t have a surgical procedure to swap their head with a Golden Retriever. What will they think of next?
Scott must be secretly relieved. Just bizarre.
‘Awww, ain’t that sweet, Edith, a mom cuts her body apart and now she’s a man. Those lucky kids.’
Sodomite, pervert, child abuse, freak show PING!
There is no such thing as “being born in the wrong body” at all. You are born a man or a woman. The choices you make about what to do with your body are given to you by free will which was given to us all by God.
This is all proceeding according to the Communist playbook laid out to us by Yuri Besmenov. Total corruption of sexual morals and destruction of religion to pave the way for totalitarian takeover.
Shouldn’t this have come with a “Barf Alert”?
Here's a dude who had a cuddadicofmy operation and later decided he wanted an addidictomy. His transformation looks like it was more successful than most, too.
He spent £100,000 on cosmetic operations and tooth veneers to create the ‘ultimate male fantasy’ and was so convincing as a woman he had no trouble attracting men, and was briefly engaged to a wealthy landowner.
Then, in 2004, after seven years of living as a woman, he decided he’d made a horrible mistake; the result -he believes now -of a breakdown following the acrimonious end of his 12-year marriage and estrangement from his children.
Initially thrilled by his transformation, life as a woman quickly paled despite a jetset lifestyle in Monaco.
He hated the way female hormones made him moody and emotional. Shopping bored him and sex was a disappointment.
No matter how feminine he looked, he felt he was merely playing a role.
So, five years ago, Charles spent a further £25,000 on three operations to turn him back into a male after being referred by the gender clinic at London’s Charing Cross Hospital.
His breast implants were removed and male genitalia re-constructed from skin grafts.
The trouble was, he wasn’t the man he had been before.
aww...isn’t that nice?
OY, I could not read this story.
Look I am far from perfect, I could just feel like I’m the worst mother sometimes, but at least, at the very least, my hoo-ha is still in good order.
I feel sorry for these people, I really do.
But there is just SO MUCH of it.
It’s disturbing, very much so.
Here’s my mom, she’s a dude now.
No, that can’t be OK.
She cared more about herself than she did about her family...
The couple had met in college; they got married in 1987. And with Les’ secret now in the open, they decided to stay together. In 1997, Les began hormone treatments as part of the process of beginning to live life as a man.
“Amanda was 7 at this point, and I explained to her where this was going,” Les says. “And she burst into tears and threw herself onto my lap. And she says, ‘Oh, please, don’t change into a man. If you have to change into anything, couldn’t it be a cat?’ “
