Meet Corey and Eric Maison, a father and daughter navigating through their gender transitions together
Eric, formerly Erica, felt uncomfortable as a woman his whole life, and reportedly “hated being pregnant”
His daughter, Corey, was born male, and also felt trapped inside a body that wasn’t hers
4 years ago, at age 11, Corey made the brave decision to let the girl she truly was shine through…
And, well… She looks flippin’ gorgeous
Corey initially feared her parents’ disapproval, not knowing what her own mom was feeling inside
“I wanted to make my parents proud of who I am, but I thought that they would not like me”
Inspired by his daughter, Erica came out as Eric in 2016
“The first feeling was relief, the second was terror,” Eric told 60 Minutes Australia in a touching interview
“Fear for what my future would hold… fear for what the rest of my life was going to look like”
Despite his anxiety, Eric has been embraced by his family, and is now undergoing testosterone therapy
“I have five beautiful children, I have an amazing husband and an amazing life”
