Adele

Mother of a trans child who is currently fifteen years old. Ethnicity: White British. Her child came out as trans when they were about eleven years old, just before entering secondary school. Adele says that she was shocked in a way, but not shocked in other ways. She believes she was lucky that her child was able to access a gender identity service after being on the waiting list for only five months, compared to current waiting times which are about two years. However, she says the service was not particularly helpful.
