Trans youth: Deciding who you are
How young is too young to transition?
Growing up is difficult but even tougher for transgender youth. This isn’t only true in the West, but internationally as transgender people become more visible. For some that means shunning or even violence. But the younger generation is finding a voice and community through YouTube. It’s raising awareness and questioning how society looks at gender identity. We’ll ask how young is too young to self-identify.
