I have a daughter that transitioned into a son. My daughter Amai is now Kai.
He continued:
I talk about the transition — not their transition, but my transition — as a parent going from ignorance and denial to complete, unconditional love and acceptance. And I think there’s a lot of parents out there that need to have that message. And I know I’m dealing with it. It was a very painful situation for me, but man, it’s one of the best, funniest hours I probably could ever imagine.
He added:
They know I love them. They see me trying, and I’m happy.
