In a recent HuffPost Live segment, author and transgender mom Lilly Mossiano discussed her new book series that explains transitioning to kids. Joining her, was another transgender woman, Stephanie Battaglino, who shared what it was like to come out to her 10-year-old son, Andrew.

Battaglino explained that the hardest part was actually telling Andrew she was divorcing his mom. Beyond that, she approached the topic of gender transition "very lightly," because of his young age.
