Abstract
Despite positive changes in public attitudes towards transgender people
amongst some sectors of society, for many transgender women the process
of transitioning brings with it considerable loss. Transgender women may
face the loss of friendships, the loss of employment, the loss of housing,
and as is the case in this chapter, the loss of family. These losses can be
exacerbated for transgender women who transition later in life, who may
be married to a woman, and who may have had children.
