Katy Tur discusses her father’s transition

“I think that not being your true self is a difficult thing, and I empathize with my dad for that. It must really have sucked trying to hide the person you were, for as long as she did…I hate that it took so long for her to be comfortable to announce who she was and to take that step. And I wish that it was the move that made everything all better between us, but unfortunately, it didn’t. And not because of the transition, but because of her desire to wipe away everything before then. To say, 'Bob Tur is dead' and my desire to say, ‘hold on, the things Bob Tur did are not dead to me.’”- Katy Tur
