Avery Jackson is a 7-year-old transgender girl and she is blowing the Internet away with her amazing story of transition. The Next Family is so impressed with Avery Jackson's spunk and courage and all that her parents have done in support of Avery's transition that we just have to share with you 10 reasons why we love Avery and the Jackson Family.
Avery was brave and shared her story on YouTube.
With her first "Avery Chat" video, Avery Jackson shared the story of her transition. In the video, she explains how she knew that she was a girl, the fear she had about telling her parents about her transgender identity, and then how she eventually shared her identity with her parents. In a four-minute video, Avery shares a personal story that echoes the pride she has in who she is. Viewers will be swept away by the bravery and wisdom that this little girl displays.

Heartwarming when parents are supportive. Hopefully these children won't live the messed up lives many of us older tran-folk did. Hopefully shame, discrimination and bullying can become a thing of the past.
One can dream - can't we!
