What do you do when you finally locate your long lost dad and find he's a woman? Well that's just what happened to Emily Wallis and she couldn't be happier.

Although shocked to discover her father is called Chloe wears high heeled shoes, tight dresses and is living in Margate she totally accepts her for the glamorous woman she now is. She wants to be by Chloe's side when she has her full sex-change and for her to be by her side to give her away when she gets married.

In truth it was perhaps harder for Chloe to meet Emily than for Emily to meet Chloe after years of struggling with her sexuality living as a man whilst always knowing that she was at heart a woman. Like so many in this predicament it led to despair, shame and in Chloe's case self mutilation as she attempted to push her despised male genitals back up inside her body.

So what to do when you find your lost dad or best friend or husband's a lady? Well maybe taking a leaf out Emily's book and support and accept them for who they really are might be a good place to start.

a hall of mirrors

Emily, 22, says: “Chloe was squeezed into a silver dress and wearing make-up and a wig. I had no idea what to do so I said, ‘You look better than me… and I really like your shoes’.”
