   A transgender dad and daughter from Detroit are revealing their   
   incredible journeys as they transition from mom and son.   
      
   Corey Maison, 15, first told her parents she identified as a   
   girl four years ago, but it was not until last year she learned   
   that her mother also struggled with her gender identity. The   
   pair are now leaning on each other as they transition together.   
      
   The teen has chronicled their transitions on her Instagram   
   account, and the two sat down for an interview with Australia’s   
   “60 Minutes” to talk about the experience.   
      
   “I wanted to make my parents proud of who I am, but I thought   
   that they would not like me,” Corey said about coming out as   
   transgender.   
      
   Eric Maison, who used to go by Erica, said that he was   
   emboldened by his daughter’s decision. He wrestled with   
   different emotions while deciding whether to transition.   
      
   “The first feeling was relief, the second was terror,” he said.   
   “Fear for what my future would hold, fear for how my family and   
   children would, fear for what the rest of my life was going to   
   look like.”   
      
   Eric Maison has since undergone a double mastectomy. He said he   
   plans to stay together with his husband, Les, who supports his   
   transition.   
      
   “I fell in love with the person. She was beautiful as a woman,   
   but equally beautiful on the inside,” Les Maison said. “As long   
   as Eric is happy with the appearance, Eric will be happy with   
   what’s in her brain – or his brain.”   
      
   The recently transitioned dad of five said he regrets not coming   
   to terms with his gender identity earlier.   
      
   “The only regret I have is not being educated sooner about what   
   transgenderism was, so I could do it sooner,” Eric Maison said.
