Healy, who hails from Australia, says that she tells her mothershe identifies as trans "100 times a year." Healy's gender identity is always a surprise to her dementia-stricken mom, whose memory is fading. Family members were concerned about how Healy's coming out would impact her mother, given her declining health. Turns out, they didn't need to be worried."When I told her I was a woman, she just looked at me and said, 'Oh, what do you know' I've got a beautiful new daughter!" Healy, 54, told ABC News. "I started to cry, and she pulled me to her shoulder and said 'Cry it out, dear. Cry it out.' My partner at the time cried as well." Fortunately for Healy, who has identified as a woman since she was 4 years old, says Mom "gives me just the same beautiful reaction that she did exactly the same, almost word for word, every time." "Im kind of the luckiest one of all, because I get to come out to Mum 100 times a year, and every time, shes beautiful," she told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Absolutely beautiful!
