- When Daye initially came out as a woman of trans experience to her family, she was met with only tacit acceptance, and a sense that her family wasn’t as supportive as she was hoping they would be. This reaction left an impression on Daye, and when the time came to tell her parents that she was going to seek a more permanent transition through gender-confirming surgery in Thailand, she braced herself for even more resistance.
Instead she was met with the opposite: not only was she warmly embraced by her parents, her mother insisted on accompanying her to her surgery across the globe. From the moment Daye was wheeled in, to the moment she woke, her mother was by her side, attending to her needs and assisting in her recovery. Seeing this change in her mom and in her family during this time taught Daye a lesson - “that's what family really is, is the people that love you and show up for you when it counts.”

Can you blame a mother for keeping photos of her child up?
It's wonderful to hear your story of how the family pulled together and supported you. It was hard for you all.
This channel gets me every time 😭
She transitioned so well that I thought the woman in the thumbnail was the mom.
This is such a beautiful story and you are so fortunate to have had your mom accompany you to Thailand. You look so natural and relaxed. I feel blessed to have watched you tell your story. Thanks so much for inspiring me.
I first thought by them thumbnail she was the (young) mom.
She is very fortunate .... I pray for all to have this sort of support ....and love.
Needs more shaving off the Adam's apple
Can u please tell the name of the surgeon?
Aww 🥰 your parents are what all parents should be like pure LOVE
Thank you for sharing your story.
Next time check the background and close the closet door. Other than that, great telling of your tale.
Thank God your family accept you. May you grow spiritually and emotionally. Our spiritual side is an important dimension in the human person. Marisa
Wonderful story
I’m curious about your name “Day” as I really like it. How do you spell it?
❤️❤️❤️
The title should really be corrected to read "gender-affirming surgery" since gender doesn't need to be confirmed by surgery.
I know, it's hard to keep up with a lot of the new terminology but it's surely a step up from the slang non-queer cis people have imposed on us.
Also high key jealous she has a supporting mother. I'm an adult and my mother is still finding ways to use her weight in the medical community to sabotage all of my appointments for gender-affirming care.
I'm so sorry you're having to deal with that. Hopefully she'll get over herself, sooner than later. Meanwhile, please accept some mama hugs.

This is the storyteller's own language and description of her experience.
Her mom was there for her "rebirth" 🥰
