Tina Healy is an Australian trans woman. Her mother is suffering from dementia. As a result Tina has to come out to her mother every time she sees her. Fortunately Tina's mother reacts positively every time.

Tina's daughter and new mother, Jessica Walton, has written a children's book to explain her family to her child and other children. The book is Introducing Teddy, about a transgender teddy bear. Jessica crowdsourced the production.

When we became parents, my partner and I, suddenly we realised that we wanted to find books that had transgender characters and there are some out there, but none that are really aimed at the kind of, you know, babies-to-five kind of age range. So we wanted something really simple and sweet.

Teddy knows in her heart that she is a girl, not a boy. Will her friends understand? Will they call her Tilly instead of Thomas?
