Mum and daughter, 10, transition to become ‘father and son’ as free public healthcare funds ‘transgender journey’
A mum and daughter have both transitioned to become “father and son” as free public healthcare has funded their “transgender journey”. The duo shared their experience to their 24,000 followers on Instagram, posting photos and videos of the journey.
Ten-year-old Gustavo and 38-year-old Raphael were both born as biological females, but now identify as male. The child began the transition at age four, while the parent stopped identifying as female last year.
The 10-year-old is an actor who has acted as both cisgender and transgender characters in films. After beginning the transition, Raphael told local media: "Now I'm Raphael, Gustavo's father." Gustavo said: "It wasn't difficult to call my mother dad."
The pair are receiving free public healthcare services for their transitions in Sao Paolo, Brazil.
