A transgender parent has shared the lengths she goes to to protect her children from hatred and bigotry.
Adrianne Elson, who is originally from the Wirral, and her partner, Michael Steven, are recognised as being the first UK trans couple to have twins. The couple welcomed their two girls, Mavis and Christin, into the world just under two years ago.
Since then, the 51-year-old has been dealing with the expected challenges that come with being a parent such as “sleepless nights, the intense feelings of love and the overwhelming sense of responsibility”. On top of that, the railway depot operative is having to make conscious decisions on how she acts, dresses and presents herself as a transgender parent.
