Hit Canadian show Degrassi continues its reputation for challenging and inclusive storylines in its 10th season by tackling the introduction of a transfer student called Adam, a trans teen hoping for a new start.

Played by 15-year-old Jordan Todosey, the actress summarizes her character's trans identity concisely, "[Adam] was born physically as a girl but between the ears, he feels like he's a guy."

Introduced at the beginning of the season, Adam's storyline came to a head this week. The storyline has been widely praised, with many of the show's fans taking to Facebook to show support for Adam as a character.
