New Delhi [India], July 14 (ANI): Popular Afghan-American novelist Khaled Hosseini, whose debut novel The Kite Runner was a critical and commercial success, on Wednesday revealed that his daughter, Haris, has come out as transgender and shared a heartwarming note for her.
Hosseini took to his Twitter handle and posted a monochrome picture of Haris, alongside which he wrote, Yesterday, my daughter Haris came out as transgender. Ive never been prouder of her. She has taught our family so much about bravery and truth.
He further added, I know this process was painful for her. She is sober to the cruelty trans people are subjected to. But she is strong and undaunted.
In a subsequent tweet, the novelist shared a throwback picture that showed Hosseini holding his daughter in his hands at what appeared to be a beach.
I love my daughter. She is beautiful, wise, brilliant. I will be by her side every step of the way. Our family stands behind her, he continued.

Transitioning is such a complicated undertakingemotionally, physically, socially, psychologicallybut Haris has met each challenge with grace, patience, and wisdom.
I am delighted to now have not one but two beautiful daughters. Most of all, I am inspired by Haris fearlessness, her courage to share with the world her true self. She has taught me and our family so much about bravery, about truth. About what it means to live authentically. I know this process was painful for her, fraught with grief and anxiety, he added.
