Are you a parent, ally, or someone searching for real-life stories about transgender parenting, parental acceptance, and the emotional ups and downs of supporting a loved one through transition? Then this video is exactly what you’ve been looking for! In this incredibly honest and moving episode of The Keith Blakemore-Noble Radio Show, I sit down with Tracy Turner, author of “Journey to Acceptance,” who shares her powerful experience navigating her child Elle’s transition and the profound lessons she learned about love, acceptance, and the search for understanding.

From the raw shock of hearing her child say, “Mum, I wish to be seen and recognised as a woman,” to the pain, confusion, fear, and, ultimately, gratitude found on her path, Tracy delivers an insider perspective on transgender parenting that is as practical as it is heartwarming. We discuss real resources, the importance of positive communication, and how to find support when you feel lost and alone. Whether you’re struggling with the fear of the unknown, overwhelmed by media sensationalism, or simply want to know how to best support your transgender loved one, Tracy’s wisdom, vulnerability, and candour will touch your heart.

You’ll leave this video feeling empowered, inspired, and with actionable advice to take your own steps toward acceptance—no matter where you are on your journey. We dive deep into themes of self-growth, letting go of control, and the healing that comes from truly listening and loving unconditionally. Think of this as your personal guide to transgender parental support, acceptance, and finding peace as a family.

A MOTHER’S MEMOIR OF HER DAUGHTER’S TRANSGENDER JOURNEY

‘Mum, I wish to be seen as and recognised as a woman.’
When Tracy heard these words from her teenage son, they set off a firestorm of emotions: Shock. Anger. Sadness. Shame. Fear for her child’s future, and of the changes this would bring to her family. The revelation was distressing – and entirely unwelcome.
Little did she know that both she and her child were about to embark on a transformative journey – one that would encompass grief, pain, and setbacks, but which would ultimately lead to clarity and joyfulness.

In Journey to Acceptance, Tracy Turner tells the story of how she embraced her child’s true identity as El and learned to support her through social and medical transitions, including grappling with the NHS and the financial realities of medical transition. With input in El’s own words, it depicts Tracy’s honest thoughts and reactions, including moments of vulnerability, selfishness, and judgement.
Come with Tracy on a journey of compassion, understanding, and empathy. As she’ll discover, life has a remarkable ability to turn pain and suffering into gratitude and strength. It can lead you places you never thought you’d go.

OFFERING FREE COACHING SESSION TO ANY TRANSGENDER PARENT.
If you are a transgender parent like me, the recent Supreme Court ruling may have heightened your anxiety and diminished your sense of empowerment.
I wanted to send a love and support to you all and offer what might be some helpful tips to get through the day.

Create a Safe Space
Your child needs a safe and supportive environment to thrive. Find a community of friends who can provide wit, laughter, and hope in hostility's face and unkindness that society may show you.
Seek individuals who appreciate your child’s genuine identity, establishing an environment where they can truly fit in. Remember, belonging doesn’t require changing who you are; it’s about embracing your true self and finding those who hold space for you and your boundaries.
Find Your Joy
Find what brings you joy and makes you happy, whether it’s running, dancing, painting, singing, spending time in nature, enjoying quiet time alone, or connecting with loved ones. Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup. When you take care of yourself, you’ll be able to offer even greater support to your child. Put your oxygen mask on first, and then you can support others.
Ask for Help
Asking for help is especially important if you’re used to taking care of others. Remember that it is a sign of strength, not weakness. Emotional support, practical help, and information from trusted resources can lighten your load. People may not offer help unless you ask, so reach out. Others' willingness to help you on this journey might surprise you.

The experience of raising a transgender child has influenced how I view life and approach coaching. As a personal development coach, I now specialise in supporting parents of transgender individuals, drawing on my own experiences to guide them with empathy and understanding.
I am now offering a free coaching session to any transgender parent. Contact me Tracy@performanceci.co.uk. for your free session or check out my book on Amazon – link below for more support.
