Bodyshock – Age 8 and Wanting a Sex Change 2/5 [HQ]

Channel 4 | Monday 19 October 2009

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.

    @drj1967 I am not homophobic. I am just believe that we need to give children enough direction until they are of age to make such big decisions. Let’s be a little patient.

    I am not sure I understand why a parent is talking to their child about getting shots of estrogen. I didn’t hear the child talking about wanting to be a woman. Even though the child seems somewhat feminine, that does mean that a boy is a girl. This video shows a parent making enough implications about sexuality and the child following suit. I wonder when they get older and begin to make estimations of the childhood if they will be angry at their parents for making such outrageous decisions.

    This is why religion can be bad. People thinking having a sex change is evil. I admit I have my own religious views but I don’t go around preaching my views like some people. These people going door to door trying to convert you. New’s flash what makes you think we want to be converted.
