Tough to watch. Thanks for posting this.

Thank you Susan. Devlyn's correct, it is tough to watch.
I found the part where the child was saying "she (her mother) says she just wants me to be happy but she's more worried about what other people think" one of the most frequent reactions I've come across, certainly for myself.
I think this concept is one of the most important for parents, SO's and family should be made aware of in their thought process. Making sure the people who are most important to them are clearly elevated above all others.IMO.
Thanks for posting,
Sonja.
I liked the closing note.
Hard to watch? I already lived far worse. I had no idea what was wrong with me when I was that age and at least that clip is depicting kids who are acknowledged and parents who are trying. For me it was being punished by family, teachers and schoolmates for every failure to meet gender expectations.
