After realising she was transgender, Stefonknee Wolscht moved out of her family home to live life as a six-year-old girl.

In an interview with The Daily Extra and The Transgender Project, Stefonkee says that she now lives with friends whom she describes “as her adoptive mommy and daddy”.

Talking about how she was married for 23 years, Stefonknee says: “I can’t deny I was married, I can’t deny I have children. But I’ve gone back to being a child”.

The 46-year-old also said that her family found it difficult to understand her decision and this led to her moving out.
