Can You Help My Friend Kelly?
Please read the article below and if you can offer help and support please reply in the comments sections and I will forward it on to Kelly. Thank you in advance for your help
Please forgive me for not sending a more personal note to all of you, but I am sending this email out in desperation.
As most of you know, I am a transgender woman in the midst of a very difficult divorce situation. In short, my ex-spouse, her attorney, and the Church are on a mission to remove me from my role as a parent. I learned today, they will stop at nothing to do so. Kentucky is a very conservative state, with very few cases that deal with transgender people and their rights.
With that said, I am in the fight of my life. We adopted these two precious girls from China, and they mean the world to me. My oldest is nine, and my youngest is seven. I spent countless hours under crawl spaces repairing old homes, remodeling interiors, selling properties, and working a tremendous amount of overtime just so that we could adopt them.
Now, because of my diagnosis, the Holy rollers want me out of my children’s lives. I did not transition on my own. Like many of you, I sought out some very highly skilled professionals in the medical field to understand what I have and how to treat it. This decision was not made lightly nor was it done overnight. I recognized this was a huge risk, however, I had no choice.
With that said, if you are transgendered, and have transitioned with children, or know of someone who has, I would like to hear your story. My finances have been exhausted, and I’m now doing research on my own. You may email me directly at cmbimageconsultant@gmail.com. More importantly, if you have any information that can assist me in showing the courts, my transition will not be a detriment to the well being of my children, I would appreciate this.
Again, please forgive me for the lack of personal touch with this email. Any help, will be greatly appreciated.
With warmest regards,
Kelly







Hi Kelly,Im not able to be of any real help,as i live in Australia,and our laws regarding seperation and access to children are different,I just want to wish you the best with what you are going through.Its not an easy decision you’ve made,and I can understand how you feel about the church,as I have a very religious B/inlaw who hasnt talked to me since 2005,when I came out.It must be so very hard for you to not see you children,from what youv’e written,you love them very much,and perhaps,if you have some close supportive friends,they may be willing to act as character reference’s in regard to helping you prove in court that you are still just as fit a parent as you always have been.Please dont give up,stay strong,hard though it will be,you have the same rights as anyone else Kelly,never forget that.If you’d like to make contact via email,my address is catelouiseg1@gmail.com
I do not know if Phillis Fry will talk to you as a free consultant or not. She is a big lawyer here in Houston that is Trans herself.
You may be able to find some help at http://www.tgctr.org/ If nothing out look for Cristaian she has all kinds of contacts all over.
I have 4 children and have gotten divorced. I am on OK terms with my X even though she hates this part of me. Divorce was mostly other stuff and the marriage was over before I came out to her.
I wish I could say more to help, Just know you are not alone in the struggle you face. There are many others that have had to face it too.
Big Hugs

I am in a somewhat similar situation. My ex has been trying to take my daughter away for some time and honestly the only thing stopping her is that she cannot afford a lawyer. But my lawyer said there are no laws in michigan preventing me from seeing my daughter… If you wanna chat you can email me mtfromqt@gmail.com
This is the Pink Essence site for a lady lawyer that might be able to give you information or help if you contact her.
