Advice on the "Father"/Daughter dance

My father came out last year as transgender and is currently transitioning to a woman. I would still like to have the traditional parent dance (maybe with both parents?) but I have no clue how to make it work. Any ideas?

    She said that she's comfortable with whatever I decide. I would like to do it. But I would also like to do it with both parents since the mother of the bride seems to miss out on a lot. They're also both walking me down the aisle

    You could start off dancing with one parent, and then have the other parent cut in halfway through.

    To bounce off what Bakerie said - start the dance with your father, to a song that has meaning to your relationship with her, and then have the DJ fade into a song that has meaning towards your relationship with your mother and she can cut in and finish the dance with you.

    Great question! I don't live with my father so my brother is doing it in place of him, as he is the ' Man of the House'. However, you could also do a dance with your mother as well. Also, if you don't live with you father - then have either your brother or mother walk you down the isle.
