In this episode, Amanda Jette Knox shares what it was like to find out that the child she knew as a son was actually a daughter. In this candid discussion of a very important revelation that Amanda and her husband just couldn’t have been prepared for, we learn about the loving way these parents are embracing their child Alexis through transition, the way her siblings have reacted, how things have gone at school and more.

    I had a big lump in my throat when I was listening to this sensitive story of love and commitment on parenting a transgender child. We know the results could have been much different for this child if first, she didn't trust her family with her challenge and secondly if the parents did not react with such love and courage.
