Synopsis:
In the groundbreaking documentary "Family Secrets: When Dad Becomes Mom," viewers are introduced to Chloe Prince, a woman navigating the transformative journey of gender reassignment and the profound impact it has on her family. Originally known as Ted Prince, Chloe’s story is not just about personal identity; it’s a narrative woven with the complexities of family dynamics, love, and the struggles of redefining relationships.
Chloe Prince’s journey began long before her surgery. Born as Ted Prince, she grew up feeling a disconnect between her identity and the gender assigned to her at birth. As a child, Ted would secretly dress in girls’ clothes, grappling with feelings of confusion and isolation. These early experiences set the stage for a lifelong struggle with gender identity. Despite her internal turmoil, Ted married Rene and had two sons, Logan and Barry, hoping that a traditional family life might quell her feelings of discontent.
