Jamie’s transition was difficult for everyone: Her ex-wife, Elaine, tells us, “The man I was married to for thirty years is now a woman.” Her younger daughter, Tina, says, “My dad is gone.” Her older daughter, Angie, was angry; Jamie came out to her “in a text.” And, Doug, her brother once so close they were mistaken for twins, refuses to speak to Jamie.
