YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSubscribe on YouTube
Like many young girls, 13-year-old Ariel loved Disney princesses when she was growing up. She even asked her family to call her by a different Disney princess's name every day: Cinderella. Belle. Snow White.
But for Ariel, her family’s willingness to call her by those names had special significance: she was born a boy. And at the time -- around age nine -- she was still presenting as a boy at school and in public, fearful of what the reaction of her peers might be if they knew she identified as a girl.
Ariel shares her story in "Growing Up Trans," a documentary coming to FRONTLINE (PBS) on June 30. The 90-minute special follows eight kids who are transitioning, ranging from ages 9 to 19 — and shows how a new generation of kids and their parents are navigating the changing and complicated world of gender and identity, with new medical options and at younger and younger ages.
