ENTIRE FAMILY IS TRANSGENDER

An entire family – mother, father, son and daughter – in Arizona is transgender. The father identifies as a woman. The mother identifies as a man. The 11-year-old son considers himself a girl and the 13-year-old daughter thinks she’s actually a boy. Daniel Harrott was born a woman, while his fiancée, Shirley Austin, was born a man. Both have been previously married. “The whole family is in transition,” Austin said in an interview. The two adults are teaching each other to adopt “traditional” gender roles: Shirley taught Daniel how to use a chainsaw. Daniel taught Shirley to memorize all the stones in her engagement ring, in case another woman asks. Daniel does the yard work. Shirley, the cooking.
