20/20 - My Secret Self Pt.2

A report on some of the youngest transgender kids, including a six-year-old girl who was born a boy, a 10-year-old boy who lives as a girl and a 16-year-old-boy who was born a girl. Barbara Walters talks to these transgender children, all diagnosed with gender identity disorder (GID), as well as to their parents, who are allowing their children to live in the gender they identify with in order to save them from a future of heartache and pain. They are sharing their personal stories to increase future understanding of transgendered children.

The mother is amazing for being so understanding of her child. I see true love for their child when I see just how much her mother and father care for her and wish to see her happy. :)

iam sorry iam a transexual and have been since i was 17 but that is too young. i know transgender m2f and girls that have been on hormone therpay for all their lives. and in the end they are emotional unstandable. in my opinion the child should make their choice at the right age. a real transgender need to know how it is for both makle and female sex. and some make the wrong mistake and chose the life of drugs, prostituation, and suicide. luv them but its their choice at the right age

@byazurabyazura my parents suck. they would rather be happy themselves, than wish for my happiness.

@cow9603 Perhaps you don't know who you are! Children know better who they are than many adults because they are unadultered; straight from where they came from in purity and wisdom. I knew I was different when I was two...I knew who I was, but then I was told I was not, and my personal identity was stripped from me...I have been crippled ever since,

You are such a beautiful little girl Jazz...and very brave!
