On her Instagram profile, Tanja shares two photos of Alice and herself and one of Alice alone with the outside world. “As a proud mom, I don’t want to stop you from these beautiful photos of my incredibly brave and strong daughter.”
Well-known friends are impressed by the images. ‘Mother and daughter. How beautiful this is,” writes Jim Bakkum. Wendy van Dijk is also making himself heard. “This is so intensely sweet.”

Tanja wants nothing more than for the fear and shame surrounding this subject to disappear, so that parents can ‘just’ be there for children who experience the same as Alice, she said earlier at the table at Humberto† She couldn’t be more proud of her offspring and the fact that her daughter is transgender. Not only Tanja and Charly assist Alice, their 14-year-old son Bobby also proves to be a valuable support for his sister. “I am proud of the open mindedness and how they approach life. My youngest brother has no issue at all. ‘You want to be a girl? What’s your name now? Alice? Oh, okay.’ He has never missed or made a mistake. They are super close and nothing has changed.”
