Fiona Waters is a proud mum to her teenage daughter Alice, who transitioned last year. Fiona, and countless other parents across Australia, are raising trans and gender nonconforming kids and want to create a safe and supportive home for them. While their journey hasn't been linear, their story is one of love, understanding, and a parent's bond. This is a This Glorious Mess episode every parent should listen to.
