In 2007, six-year-old Jazz Jennings went on national television to tell Barbara Walters the same thing she’d been telling her parents, siblings and anyone else who would listen: She was, despite her birth certificate’s insistence otherwise, a girl.
Shy and sweet, Jennings answered Walters’ probing questions with the clarity and patience of someone used to explaining herself over and over again. “She was so charismatic, so charming and so clearly herself,” Laverne Cox says of first seeing that “20/20” interview. “Her humanity was so on display that you couldn’t deny she had the right to be who she was.” It was a watershed moment for transgender visibility in media, not least because it made Jennings one of the youngest documented trans people to speak her truth for millions of viewers to hear.
It’d be easy for Jennings to say she always knew that moment would be life-changing. Looking back, though, she mostly just remembers it as something she got to brag about at recess. “I think there was like, one kid from school who recognized me from TV,” Jennings, now 20, recalls over a recent Zoom call from her home in South Florida. “Maybe my confidence increased a bit because I was like, ‘I’m on TV!’ like any little kid would think about it.”

Needs an ‘UGLY BARF ALERT”.
Oh stop it. This is insane.
He’ll be shopping at Tarps-R-Us, soon enough.
when my child was 6yo, she thought she was a pony and had very convincing arguments for why she should be a pony. Then she wanted to be Cleopatra. Then she thought she was adopted so it was ok to marry daddy but mommy could still live with them. A 6yo has no permanent sense of identity because the brain isn’t developed enough for what is an advanced concept - that the child is actually separate from the parents and the body they are born into can’t change into a pony.
The parents who encouraged this small boy to become a "girl" are guilty of the worst kind of child abuse.
Every leftist I’ve ever known has embraced it because they feel they don’t have to be accountable and have so much guilt over sin they don’t know how to get rid of because confessing would mean there is a right and wrong. Also interesting, the guilt is typically related to sexual sin.
But his DNA will ALWAYS be XY. He was born with it and he’ll die with it.
That thing’s had to correct whatever’s left between it’s legs so often it probably has to get into lotus position to pee
Not quite the same, but Nathan’s all beef pretzel dogs are pretty good.
I pity this boy who is going to feel terror, pain and anguish in the next few years over what his parents did to him by encouraging him for celebrity IMHO.
“she’s been taking some necessary time for herself, stepping back to sort through her burnout, depression and anxiety” it sure sounds like that lifestyle has made her happy.
She, he, it, whatever...
I don’t have any first-hand experience with anyone like this, but about a year ago I was looking at a FB page that posts death notices from my old high school. One woman who died was a few years older than I am. I didn’t really know her, but I knew her sister. In the obit, it said she was the beloved wife of (woman’s name), formerly (man’s name.) There was a photo of her and her husband as high school sweethearts going to the prom. I recognized the husband right away as an older kid from the neighborhood, even though he is someone who hadn’t crossed my mind in decades. They had gotten married shortly after high school. He was in the Navy for a number of years. They had a couple of children together. Since he was now apparently a she rather than a he, I dedided against better judgement to check out his FB page. He spilled it all there. He said he hated his male organs even as a child. He would tuck them in and look at himself in the mirror and said he always wanted to be “smooth and pretty” down there like his mom. (He didn’t explain how, as a child, he knew what she looked like.) He said his wife was open to his exploring his femininity and bought him women’s clothes and they played dress up games. While his wife was still alive, he had begun hormone treatment which shrank his genitals and caused him to develop breasts. Now that his wife was dead, he felt free to complete the job surgically. In his photos of himself decked out in full female regalia, he is absolutely hideous. No one but no one would ever mistake him for a woman. I don’t understand how he doesn’t see that. Yet he says he is now happy to be free to be who he truly is. I won’t presume to claim that he isn’t, but I also won’t claim to understand what’s going on in the head of this kind of person.
His FB page also showed him doing normal stuff that people do and post on FB. He got a new dog. (I like dogs.) He traveled. He posted a recipe for cooking catfish. (I like catfish.) He related how hard it was to adjust after his wife’s death, but also how hard it was to take care of her at home for so many years when she was ill. You know, things I could relate to or kind of understand as one human being to another. I pray for him on occasions when he crosses my mind. Lord, have mercy.
Middle child needed a way to get attention. The mom saw $$$. Jazz is showing signs of transition regret(puberty blockers meant there wasn’t enough penis skin to make the science-pu**y, had to use extra tissue from his colon). Mom is mad that her cash cow is going away. The 43% Suicide Rate Spectre approacheth.
Not her, him.
No matter how many things he has chopped off, added on or how many medications he takes he is still a guy.
Perhaps one day he will face that fact and learn to accept it and himself.
Looks like Squidward. Ugly whatever it is.
Praying he gets saved by Jesus.
His surgery ended up being multiple surgeries to correct unforeseen complications. Which I can only assume means they had a heck of a time making him a fake vagina.
Not that owning an authentic, functioning set of female or male genitals is any picnic either, but geez.
Imagine being a kid whose unreasonable dream becomes a real nightmare. Some adults are going to hell for this.
Other trans.
My middle child has NCCAH and is a true trans. Born female, she is only interested in dating other trans people.
That’ll teach him to get circumcised. They must have ran out of usable fake
girl making material.
