"Teen transgender activist Jazz Jennings has revealed boys at her school are not interested in dating her because they still view her as male. 

Speaking in a clip taken from the new Oprah Winfrey series Where Are They Now? Jennings opens up about the difficulties she faces as a young transgender girl.

Oprah suggests that Jennings is at an age where her peers are ready to start dating but Jennings admits that things are not straightforward for her."

I hear ya girl.

But if no one wants to date her, one of the most beautiful and well known trans teens, what hope is there for the rest of us?
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

Yes, this is so tiresome and painful.

Now that "being called gay for dating trans" is sort of a "named topic" in the news, maybe we'll see some trans partners with media clout step forward...
