Holy crap, I remember seeing this on tv when I was younger, and looking back on it now it was probably my first real taste of dysphoria. Its kinda fuzzy now but I can recall sitting on the livingroom floor watching this and realizing from the way the parents talked about their daughters and from the audiences reaction that the way I dressed wasn't normal: little girls don't dress like little boys. My mom walked past me a few times while cleaning the house and I felt such embarassment while praying that she didn't look at the tv or hear what was going on.

I pass 90% of the time. I have accepting friends. I almost never feel dysphoria and even though most of this is scripted and the parents were just looking for their 15 seconds of fame but watching this was just terrible. I don't know why I sat through all of it because all I want to do is sit in a corner and cry.
