Guest Name: Kemberly Mauricio
In this episode:
- Kemberly and Michael are parents to a child who, at age 13, told them that they would like to transition from male to female. Amidst the shock, Kemberly responds with compassion and puts in her own words, “I don’t understand this; I love you; I have a lot to learn, and I’m here for you.”
- Kemberly shares her support for her child while still taking a conservative approach through talking with her pediatrician, therapy for her and her child, extensive research of her own, and maintaining a family support system for Alex.
- Ashley and Kemberly discuss the Gems Clinic at Boston Children’s Hospital and the stepped, conservative approach to starting the treatment process.
- The perspective that Kemberly’s family was going through a transition, not just her child. She shares the importance of remembering not to carry shame - whether that is the child who wants to transition, or it’s the parent who’s on the transitioning journey with their child.
This is a One Mission Podcast.
Cancer can steal a kid’s childhood – we help them get it back through
programs and activities that foster friendship, fun, and positive
distractions from treatment. Whether it’s putting on holiday
celebrations, providing art and music therapy or paying for expensive
hospital parking, we make life brighter for children and their families
from the moment of diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.
