As experts consider a review of UK guidelines for treating transgender children, this film follows a number of children in the US who told their parents they were born in the wrong body.
In America, children under 16 can be prescribed hormone ‘blockers’ to prevent the onset of puberty, with a view to then follow with hormone treatment to become their new gender. This film follows the American experience.
These children and their parents reveal what it is like to face life-changing questions, giving a frank insight into a subject most people never have to consider.
