"A veteran political journalist in the United States says his daughter's transition from female to male hasn't been an easy road, but that he has come to accept and even embrace it.

Jon Ralston, a contributing editor to Politico and the host of Ralston Live on PBS, is using his public pulpit to share the very personal story of his son Jake's transition. Until recently, when Jake had the name on his birth certificate changed by a judge in Nevada, he was Madeline, or "Maddy" for short."

Nevada political commentator Jon Ralston has written a touching tribute to his transgender son, who has just gone through a legal name change.

"When Maddy Ralston came into this world almost 21 years ago, it was love at first sight," Ralston wrote in a blog post published on his Ralston Reports website Monday. "I cradled her in my arms, my adopted miracle, and couldn't stop crying. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen."

I wish more parents were this understanding. Kudos Jon and Congrats Jake!
