When Dad Became Joan
An honest and open rendition of one woman’s grief for the man she once knew and acceptance of the person who still loves her like a daughter.
In 1987, Cath Lloyd’s father made the shocking confession that he was a transsexual and wished to become a woman.
Although she wanted to be supportive, Cath didn’t want to lose her dad, and it was hard to accept his decision. In those days, asking for help wasn’t the norm, and gender issues like this were swept under the carpet. Throughout the years of emotional, conflicting and tormenting thought processes, Cath wondered if life was ever going to feel normal again.
We all have life stories to tell, and Cath tells one of hers in her book and shares her journey of acceptance when her dad became Joan.
