Hillary and her husband Jeff were excited to be having a baby girl, Ryland. Months after being born they found out Ryland was deaf. Ryland had cochlear implants restored and then was able to hear. After that Hillary and Jeff learned Ryland was transgender. The Whittingtons no longer have a daughter. They have a son. At first they juts thought Ryland was a tomboy but he was very shameful about it. When he was five he said "When the family dies, I will cut off my hair so I can be a boy." They had finally realized it was time to listen and that they would rather have a living son than a dead daughter. After consulting with counselors and experts on transgender issues, Hillary and Jeff were advised to allow Ryland to transition as soon as possible. So they let him cut his hair, change his room, and they sent out a letter to family and friends telling them that Ryland is a boy and their amazing son.
