A discussion of the societal and personal challenges and risks facing transgender kids, and how to be an ally toward defending and protecting them.

Meet a parent whose child came out as transgender and how the parent reached out to learn the best way to support that child.

Meet the child who expressed this feeling about being transgender: “What’s the point of being on this earth if you’re going to try to be someone you’re not.”

A reading of a children’s book explaining sexual identities titled “It Feels Good to be Yourself” is a companion piece.
