The silhouette is not an accident. The names and faces have been changed but the story is true, and ongoing. "Fanny" will continue to share the story of her life caring for her transgendered mother-in-law and how the lives of her family have changed.

What we all have a chance to learn is something about what real life is like for at least one transgendered individual.
