Jan
Mother of a trans daughter. Ethnicity: White British. Jan realised that something was affecting her teenage daughter when she was about fifteen or sixteen years old but did not understand what that was. When her daughter was eighteen years old she messaged Jan saying that she needed to talk to her. Jan thought that her daughter was going to come out as gay. However, shortly after the first message she received another message that had been stored on her daughter's phone for about two years, which explained that she was trans. Jan has had trouble with getting adequate medical care for her daughter. This has resulted in her seeking private care for her daughter in order to preserve and protect her mental and emotional wellbeing.
