Our dad, Danielle

The Story

The quirky, uplifting story of a larger-than-life patent attorney in Sugar Land, Texas who, at 57, came out as a trans woman and is now navigating LGBTQIA+ issues and fighting for trans rights, as she and her family challenge the idea of what modern love looks like.

Danielle and Becky met and fell in love in the 80s. A wildly successful lawyer and social butterfly wife, they were best friends from the moment they met. To the outside world, they had it all figured out, but Danielle was hiding a secret behind a beard, a big personality, and fancy suits.

In 2017 Danielle Joy "DJ" Healey is finally ready to come out as a trans woman. How would this transition affect her 30-year marriage to Becky, their two daughters, and her prestigious law career in the vortex of Texas conservatism?

As the political landscape evolves and Danielle's world expands, she integrates into the LGBTQ+ community, using her legal prowess to help fight for the rights of her trans and queer brothers, sisters & siblings.
