"Transgender Kids"
Tyra shares the incredible stories of young kids who were born one gender, but in their hearts and minds identify with the other. She examines the toll it takes on their parents and their self-esteem as they try to fit in a world of cruel people that don’t understand them. Tyra speaks with one mother and her 13-year-old daughter, who is actually living as a boy, and celebrated the monumental change with a “Transition Party.” He also confronts his father, who flew in from Italy, about his unwillingness to accept that his daughter has transitioned into a boy. Then, Tyra speaks with a 16-year-old girl who longs for the day she can fully transform into a male and her mother who is struggling with her life-changing decision. Plus, a young man who made the transition from female to male shares the emotional story of how a letter he wrote to his father changed their relationship forever. Tyra also speaks with two transgender teens about the difficulties they face in their daily life.
