Synopsis
Her father was once called Brian but now he’s had a sex change operation and became Sarah. Now he’s a mother. Brian’s partner, truck driver Lee, has also had a sex change and he’s now Louise’s other ‘mum’ Kate. Louise’s mother, Hayley, has remarried and is no longer part of her life. Confused? Louise isn’t. Since the news of this unusual family broke, the tabloids have dubbed Louise, Sarah and Kate as ‘Britain’s Weirdest Family’. Now Louise is being teased at school. But instead of hiding, she’s determined to put the record straight and prove that, if others leave them alone, they can be happy.
