Transgender Dad: Becoming A Woman Cost Me My Family

Father-of-six Mark Hughes lost everything when he came out as transgender women Abby-Grace. His parents disowned him and his oldest two daughters stopped speaking to him - but Abby says she’s never been happier. The 47-year-old had known all of her life that she had the mind of a woman, but it wasn’t until last year that she summoned the courage to come out. The Mancunian ex-window cleaner, who now lives in Idaho, America, has left her old life - and her children - behind to start afresh as Abby.
