Daughter + Dad: Coming out as transgender
Blog post from Snyk
In observance of International Transgender Day of Visibility, Snyk’s Martin McKeay and his daughter share their family’s ongoing experience after she came out as transgender nearly five years earlier. His daughter describes being transgender not as a choice or a single realization, but as a gradual understanding of longstanding discomfort with being perceived as male, while Martin reflects on the shock, confusion, and adjustment he and his wife experienced as their expectations for their child’s future changed. She recalls feeling hurt by her parents’ initially hesitant response, though she found important support among transgender and LGBTQ+ peers in college, while both acknowledge that consistent use of her chosen name and pronouns has strengthened their relationship. Their conversation emphasizes that parents may struggle and make mistakes but should ultimately support their child’s autonomy and well-being, and it calls attention to broader political and legal threats facing transgender rights while stressing the need to defend LGBTQ+ people.
