Chick McClure and their father, Chas McClure, in Los Angeles. In a StoryCorps conversation, they remembered a road trip they took to reconnect after being estranged for nearly 30 years.For almost 30 years, T. Chick McClure and their father, Chas, were estranged.
In September 2018, they met at the Crystal Inn Hotel in Salt Lake City."I walked to the door of the hotel room and there was a mirror there," Chick told Chas."So I got a last look at how different I knew I was going to look to you. There was a lot of time between when I was 14 and we reconnected on that trip, 30 years?""I know that you are politically conservative," Chick said."And I was worried that you might not accept me being transgender.
Chick was 14 years old when their parents divorced and their dad moved away for his job in the Navy. They spent the following 30 years having a distant relationship, speaking only occasionally. In 2016, they came out to their dad as transgender, and eventually, the two began to rebuild their relationship.hide captionCourtesy of T. Chick McClure
"I've done a lot of thinking about that trip, and part of the reason that it was so great was that I had been able to be honest with you about who I am, and it was so great to have your acceptance," Chick said."But also I felt like, you know, I am accepting you. Because I feel like I've been kind of rigid with you."
