She is a little rambunctious child... and she happens
to be transgender.

We noticed that she was so much happier when she had dresses on that we would joke that we should never take them off of her!

ELLIE, 6, WASHINGTON

You shouldn't think anything different about people who are trans or CIS.

They're both people. They are still human beings.

JAYDEN, 6, QUEENS

I'm the only transgender girl in my whole school. I'm the only one. That makes me special.

My child is special, not because he is a transgender boy,

but because of his profound empathy, bravery, and emotional wisdom.

JAMES, 8, BAY AREA

What isn’t special about my child? He’s cool, I mean, really cool.

His gender doesn’t define him, I won’t let it and he won’t let it.

JAKE, 8, ILLINOIS

Nicole will be who she is and as a parent I’m just along for the ride.

At age two and a half, I recognized that Nicole, who has an identical twin Hannah, had a preference for toys and clothes traditionally thought of as boy toys and clothes.

NICOLE, 8, CALIFORNIA

It's just people who are
in the wrong body.
It shouldn't be a big deal.

He must have been a little over 3 when he approached me saying, “Mom I know what’s wrong with me!” Alarmed, I asked “What’s wrong what hurts?” He said, “God made a mistake, he put me in the wrong body.”

NOAH, 8, QUEENS

It took us a long time to trust that this was a good decision.

We had been wrestling with these feelings, and the desire to allow Ayler to be herself from a very early age, beginning at about 18 months.

AYLER, 9, FLORIDA

Colette has identified as a girl since she was 2, old enough to talk.

As a younger child – and even now to a degree – she just took it in stride that her body was one way and her gender identity was another.

COLETTE, 12, BERKELEY

Living as myself makes me feel FREE!

What people get wrong are my Pronouns and gender. I have faced verbal bullying, bathroom issues, and an overwhelming number of questions.

KB, 12, BROOKLYN

I was very happy finally living as a boy, and I felt right.

I felt free, and I felt like me for a change.
