Meet Jazz Jennings, a 6-year-old transgender child
”We’ll say things like, ‘You’re special. God made you special.’ Because there aren’t very many little girls out there that have a penis…. All of the male to female younger transgender children are obsessed with mermaids. It’s because of the ambiguous genitalia. There’s nothing below the waist but a tail. And how appealing is that for somebody who doesn’t like what’s down there?”
