Insight: March 8

This week, Insight explores what it’s like to be the partner, child or parent of someone who comes out as transgender.

Is it a case of loving the same person but in a different package? Insight examines whether relationships can survive such a monumental change.

When Josh was 17, his father Trevor became Karen. Twenty years later Josh says he is still grieving.

Sharon had always wanted a daughter, but says she gained a son when her child Nevo started taking male hormones at the age of 18.

For transgender people changing from one gender to another involves enormous physical and psychological upheaval.

But for their loved ones that transition can also be profound.
