From the moment we’re born, our gender identity is no secret. We’re either a boy or a girl. Pink or blue. As we grow up, most of us naturally fit into our gender roles. Girls wear dresses and play with dolls. For boys, it’s trousers and toy cars. But for some children, what’s between their legs doesn’t match what’s between their ears – they insist they were born into the wrong body. They are transgender children, diagnosed with gender identity disorder, or gender dismorphia, and their parents insist this is not a phase.
Most transgender children still live in the shadows, hiding from a world that sees them as freaks of nature. Rejected by their families, to grow up and to fall victim to high rates of depression, drug abuse and even suicide. Today, hundreds of families with transgender children – who have found each other over the Internet – are taking a dramatically different course. They’re allowing their children to live in the gender.
In this shocking yet touching film, we will follow the lives of four transgender children. We will find out how young children change their apparent gender and how many families have a transgender child.
