"ORLANDO, Florida — It's not every day that a teenage girl speaks to crowded roomfuls of physicians at a professional medical conference, but Jazz Jennings is no everyday girl.
Jazz, age 15 years, is a transgender teen, activist, book author, reality-TV show star, and so far the youngest national transgender spokesperson in the United States. She and her parents, Jeannette and Greg ("Jennings" is not their real last name), were invited by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists to participate in several sessions on transgender medicine at the organization's annual meeting in Orlando last week."

I was wondering if my endocrinologist heard her speak. Then I discovered he was co-chair of the sessions where Jazz spoke.
