The emotional moment a trans teen realizes she can begin hormone therapy is perfect

Bullying and lack of family support can make it incredibly hard to grow up as a trans teen.

This mum's video shows the amazing difference a loving parent makes.

After two years of waiting, trans teen Corey was given the all-clear by her therapist and medical team in Chicago to start hormone therapy when she tued 14.

Her mum, Erica Maison, told Buzzfeed: ‘All we had to do was wait for the therapist to send over the ‘readiness' letter to Chicago. We waited, and waited, and waited.'

Maison was finally given the call on September 24 to pick up the prescription.

She said: ‘It was so surreal. I was shaking and crying the entire trip to the pharmacy. I was trying to think of the best way to tell her that the day she had been waiting two and a half years for was finally here.'

The video captures the perfect moment as Corey realises her life is about to change forever:
