Mum's heartbreak as her dad cancels Christmas because grandchild is transgender

dailyrecord.co.uk:

mum has told how her own father cancelled Christmas after finding out his grandchild was transgender. The mum said she was hosting her parents for Christmas Eve dinner and then the whole family were planning to attend her parents' house for Christmas dinner.

But after she text a friendly reminder to her dad that her child was now known as Layla and preferred to use the pronouns 'she' and 'her', he told her he would not be coming.

The devastated mum told Today's Parent : "In advance of this dinner, I messaged both of my parents on a group text to remind them of what we had talked about.

I was nervous, because when I’d told my father about Layla two days before, he’d said nothing in response. And he had not said anything in the two days.
