Karen Topham will discuss her unusual perspective of transgenderism from the point of view of both a transgender woman and the mother of a transgender man.
In 1998, Karen Topham became the first teacher in the United States to transition on the job from male to female. Five years later, her first-born child became the first student at Stevenson High School to transition from female to male.
Karen will discuss her unusual perspective of transgenderism from the point of view of both a transgender woman and the mother of a transgender man in a world that, two decades after her own transition, fights acceptance of this misunderstood minority.
